My aim is to provide individualized care focusing on the goals of the patient. I believe this takes a partnership built on mutual understanding, respect and good communication with the patients, family and care team.
I have worked in neurosciences my entire healthcare career. I obtained my Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Masters in Critical Care/ Trauma Nursing at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in 2005. Then I joined the Stanford Stroke Team, working in stroke neurology and neurosurgery. In 2017, I decided to move back to Colorado to join the UCHealth team. I enjoy working with the multidisciplinary team, providing specialized care to neurologically ill patients and their families. I am actively involved in the Neurocritical Care Society of Medicine and American Stroke Association, and my research interests focus on neurocritical care management and hemorrhagic stroke.
