Overview
Services
As a pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the diabetes and endocrine department I enjoy helping children and families navigate their new diagnosis. With patients and families new to a diagnosis of diabetes, it is important to create a shared decision making model so everyone feels empowered to play a role in their medical care. I encourage patients and families to ask questions. When seeing patients in endocrine, I look forward to educating them about how the endocrine system works so they fully understand their disorder through drawing pictures, explanation, and handouts.
