Full Bio
As a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with 8 years of experience, I am passionate about delivering patient-centered care that addresses the root causes of health challenges. My background includes 2 years in a step-down unit at Buffalo General, 4 years in primary care, 2 years specializing in endocrinology, and 7 years as an Emergency Room nurse. With a focus on diabetes, endocrine disorders, and other complex conditions, I thrive on solving problems and developing holistic solutions tailored to each individual. I take pride in collaborating with Buffalo Nutrition Dietetics to integrate nutritional strategies into comprehensive care plans, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to wellness. Rather than relying solely on medications or standardized treatments, I work closely with my patients to co-create personalized plans that align with their unique needs and goals, fostering sustainable health outcomes.
