Provider Expertise
Clinical Interest for Patients
My scope of care includes not only the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease states, but care of the patient on the whole. My practice style is centered around giving quality care through customer service. I love to educate patients regarding their particular disease states, and give them the tools they need for success in its management.
Care Philosophy
My greatest passion is education. I routinely give national and local lectures to staff nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and student nurses on the care of vascular patients. My greatest joy, however, is the education of my patients. I always want you to walk away with an understanding of your issue.

In my spare time, I have 2 teenage boys age, and I volunteer on their robotics team and mountain bike teams. I enjoy telemark skiing, entertaining, gardening, and getting on one of my many bikes! My husband and I recently restored a 100-year-old bungalow near City Park.

Clinical Interests for Referring Providers
I started my career as the nurse, then Nurse Practitioner for a pioneer in vascular surgery, Charles Brantigan, MD. We moved our practice to the University where my depth of practice expanded rapidly. I have worked in all aspects of vascular nursing including inpatient and outpatient. I have even started a vascular practice with a surgeon prior to returning to the University.
