After 6 years in the Army, I changed paths and went to nursing school. I worked as an RN for 11 years, specializing in NICU and Labor and Delivery. As an NNP I have had the honor of caring for numerous premature and/or ill infants and their families starting in Minnesota, then Missouri and now Arizona! Every baby and every family is different; I approach all families in an open and transparent manner, emphasizing that they are integral members of the team and assuring them that support is available throughout every stage of their journey.
