As a neonatal nurse practitioner, I’m passionate about caring for premature and critically ill babies—and just as passionate about supporting the families who love them. My clinical focus is on developmental care and helping each baby grow in ways that protect and support their unique journey. One of the parts of my work I value most is spending time with families, helping them understand their baby’s condition and care plan. I truly believe that when families feel informed and included, it can ease some of the fear and uncertainty that comes with having a baby in the NICU. I take a family-centered approach to care, treating parents as essential members of the team and encouraging their involvement every step of the way. Whether it’s through teaching, hands-on support, or just being there to listen, my goal is to provide a sense of comfort and connection during a very challenging time. Every baby’s story is different, and I feel honored to walk alongside families as they navigate this part of their journey.
