Speakers
Lipid Specialist at Arizona Lipid Center
Family Nurse Practitioner at Benson Hospital
Prior to becoming and Advanced Practice Nurse, I was in the acute care setting as a bedside nurse. My primary focus was in pediatrics however, I never limited myself so was often call on to work in the adult ER world. Fast forward, nearly 15 years later I am still thriving working with newborns and the adult population, as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I have10 years of experience at the bedside as an RN and 4 years of experience as a FNP. I offer a wide range of services, wellness visits and common procedures to management of chronic health conditions. My time in the ER and working with the underserved population, has changed me as a person, and has guided me into this calling, my primary focus (for now) is prevention, and access to primary care.
Cutaneous Oncology / Dermatology Nurse Practitioner at Banner Health
As a nurse practitioner, I am committed to providing highly skilled, compassionate and culturally sensitive care to a vast population of patients. What I value most about my role is collaborating with clients, families, and other health professionals to address and manage complex health issues.
