I’m a family nurse practitioner with a passion in health and wellness. This passion led me to taking my advanced practice holistic nursing certification after taking a Herbert Benson, MD course through Harvard Medical School. I have worked in the family medicine setting and specialties such as osteoporosis and chiropractic, while continuing my holistic education. I’m always striving to improve my knowledge base and have completed several Harvard continuing education courses on Lifestyle Medicine, Sports Medicine, Primary Care, etc.

In my downtime, I’m a fitness and yoga instructor, as well as a certified personal trainer. I am an avid runner and enjoy running races with my husband and our dogs. I like to balance this with travel and my fair share of Mexican food, especially queso!
