I believe providing the highest quality, compassionate, and competent care for children and their families.  I have many years experience in working in the perioperative environment as an RN and now NP.  My goal is to help patients/ families understand the scheduled surgery, the surgical and anesthesia process,  and give them complete perioperative education to instill confidence and promote safety for the planned surgery.  I work in close collaboration with surgery teams, anesthesia staff, and perioperative nursing staff.  I enjoy creating a partnership with families and all their caregivers to ensure a smooth and safe surgical experience.
