Overview
My goal as a nephrology physician assistant is to provide care to my patients that will decrease their disease burden and improve their quality of life - always with compassion and consideration. The pillars of my chronic kidney disease practice are education, effective communication, care coordination and compassion. With each patient, I seek to help them understand how medications, behaviors and personal involvement can influence their health and to encourage self-care and targeting health goals. I enjoy spending my free time with friends and family, traveling to parks and lakes with my dog and touring historical sites, museums and cultural centers. I am a member of the American Academy of Nephrology Physician Assistants (AANPA).
Her clinical expertise encompasses End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Chronic Kidney Disease, High Potassium Level, and Renovascular Hypertension.
