Q: What advice might you give to a patient that’s nervous about his or her appointment?

A: It is totally NORMAL to feel nervous. We expect you to be nervous. My team of RN’s in the ED clinic always does our very best to combine patient education and a superior bedside manner to make our patients feel comfortable. Our patients should know we do this all day, every day and are prepared for any situation. They should also know we are always available by phone or email for any questions they may have.

Our family dog, Andouille, is 1 year old Doberman, Great Dane mix who is definitely the BIGGEST baby in the family.

Q: How do you think your best friend would describe you as a person?

A: I was unsure, so I asked her and she said “You’ve got a huge heart with a deep sense of loyalty to your family and friends. Always down for a good laugh. You’re a fantastic mom whose children always come first, and you never let those you love forget that you love them.”

Q: What is your favorite weekend activity?

A: We love going to Veteran’s Park or Red Mountain with the dog, hanging with friends and their children, and having big pot luck dinners together.

Q: Provide a quote about working with patients/couples in the ED clinic

A: Working in the ED clinic is a unique job. I love that I have an opportunity daily to restore a part of a man or a couple’s relationship that may have been missing. We get to make patients feel at ease talking about a subject they may have never addressed before for various reasons. I love when patients tell me how easy the process in our clinic was and that they wish they had come in to see us sooner!
