Being a nurse is my destiny — and being a pediatric nurse practitioner is challenging, rewarding and inspiring. I was fortunate enough to find my home at Community Choice Pediatrics 15 years ago. I work daily with the smartest, most-caring providers and staff imaginable.I received my undergraduate degree in nursing from University of Central Missouri and my master’s degree from UMKC. Before coming to Community Choice Pediatrics, I worked at Children’s Mercy Hospital on the Infectious Disease Unit. I also worked at Egleston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, and several other hospitals in the Kansas City area.My husband and I have three children who make us very proud and keep us very busy. I enjoy cooking, reading, and being outdoors with my family. Someday, I hope to have time to explore some new hobbies and visit all the national parks.I grew up in Lee’s Summit and care deeply about the families and children in my community. I realize that the healthcare needs of my patients are very individualized. I will strive to listen carefully to the needs and concerns of the families I serve, and I am committed to providing them with the quality care they deserve.

I have always been driven to help others, especially children. I grew up on a farm in central Kansas. After high school, I attended the University of Kansas, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. During that time, I worked with children in the Special Olympics.I studied abroad in Spain and Argentina and learned to speak Spanish. After graduation, I worked in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Mercy Hospital for five years, where I provided specialized care for the tiniest and most critically ill patients.In 2011, I obtained a Master of Science in Nursing from UMKC and started my career in primary care pediatrics. I joined Raintree Pediatrics (now Community Choice Pediatrics) as a nurse practitioner in 2016 and have been practicing here since. I enjoy watching families grow and providing support and care for both well and sick children.I’m married and a mother of three (two daughters and a son). My husband is also a nurse practitioner who is originally from South America. I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting new places and cooking.

I grew up in Washington, Missouri, where I first developed my passion for caring for children. I volunteered at the local hospital reading to children before their appointments. After high school, I went to the University of Missouri to study nursing and graduated with my BSN in 2014. My first nursing job was at University of Missouri Women’s and Children’s Hospital, where I worked for one year before moving to Kansas City.After moving to Kansas City, I accepted a job at Children’s Mercy Hospital on a medical-surgical floor specializing in neurology, endocrinology, and cystic fibrosis. Once at Children’s Mercy, I decided I wanted to return to school to become a nurse practitioner to further help the children and families in the Kansas City area. I graduated as a pediatric nurse practitioner in December 2018 and began working with Blue Springs Pediatrics (now Community Choice Pediatrics) in January of 2019.I met my husband, Reese, while in nursing school, and we were married at the Red Barn Farm in Weston, Missouri, in 2016. Reese is an outpatient physical therapist with Athletico Physical Therapy. We currently live in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. We have a goldendoodle named Koda, who is a sweet and energetic boy.
