Length of time at PUSH:

Before coming to PUSH in January 2026, I practiced as a family nurse practitioner at the Purdue North Central Nursing Clinics (NCNC) for over 3 years. NCNC offers primary care to patients living in rural and underserved areas. I absolutely loved my experience at NCNC, and it was incredibly rewarding to provide care for my patients.

Why do you like working at PUSH?:

I enjoy the opportunity to partner alongside students at PUSH and help them navigate the healthcare system. Healthcare can commonly feel daunting, especially when a person is first encountering the healthcare arena! It is rewarding to provide a safe place for students to discuss both mental and physical health concerns. I also enjoy working with patients from various cultural backgrounds and learning from my patients. Additionally, I appreciate the fact that the providers at PUSH truly collaborate– they celebrate each other’s strengths and utilize their unique gifts to provide quality care to patients.

Philosophy of Care:

I strongly believe in providing evidence-based, high-quality, patient-centered care.  Patients deserve to feel safe, heard, and seen.  I want my patients to find comfort and reassurance in knowing I will do everything I can to provide the excellent care they deserve.

What do you like to do when you're not at PUSH?

I am married to the love of my life, Michael. Michael and I have two rescued pups, both goldendoodles, named Sadie and Titus. They are our pride and joy!  I love listening to nerdy medical podcasts and true crime podcasts. I love Stranger Things. I enjoy biking and exercising in general

Fun Fact:

I have a twin sister who is a nurse practitioner as well!
