About Us

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I enjoy having the opportunity to take care of patients at every stage of life.

I grew up within the healthcare industry in Portland, graduating as a Registered Nurse in 2003. For over a decade I worked as an acute care and home health RN in both the Providence and Legacy systems. During my time in acute care I was so inspired by my patients that it fueled my desire to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. My education took me to the Bay area where I graduated from San Francisco State University with an MSN as a Family Nurse Practitioner. When my education was complete, I recognized a strong desire to return home to Portland and practice as a change agent at the preventative level of care in the communities I loved and lived in.

Today I'm at home in Portland and following my passion for healthcare. My most recent practice had a focus in Obstetrics and Women’s health that afforded me the time to pursue genuine relationships with families and individuals as their provider. I plan to do the very same thing here at Northwest Primary Care.

The three health tips I like to share with my patients are:

Eat well

Decrease your stress

Love the people around you more
