Bio

I joined the team in 2015 coming from years of experience as a floor nurse at a Boston-based city hospital. Many elements of my floor nurse practice included disease knowledge/management and wound management.

Knowing my patient's personally helps me to tailor their care and determine elements which would be most effective for healing.
