About
Biography
I come from three generations of nurses, so caring for patients is in my blood. I started my healthcare career at 18, working as an admitting representative at Oro Valley Hospital before working as a medical/surgical nurse there for more than six years. More recently, I practiced in a neurology office caring for a variety of patients including those who had a stroke, those battling MS, and chronic headaches among other neurological conditions.
My favorite thing about being a primary care provider is getting to treat the whole person, not just one specific disease process. I like to take a comprehensive, holistic approach to patient care because I understand that emotional and spiritual health are just as important as physical health to overall well-being. My patients tell me that I am friendly, upbeat and they appreciate my positivity. I pride myself on being thorough and detail-oriented when treating patients.
I’m a Tucson native, and in my spare time I love exploring my hometown and the surrounding area with my husband and three dogs.
