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.

I enjoy collaborating with my fellow practice physicians to determine the best care options for our patients. In terms of wound care, the mechanisms we use to help a patient to heal are very much individually tailored. This requires that I really know my patient and their level of activity, what they do on a daily basis and any physical or psychosocial elements which can interfere with healing. Knowing my patient's personally helps me to tailor their care and determine elements which would be most effective for healing.
