I have been at SDNPC since 2011 and I very much enjoy going to work every day. Being part of such a hard-working, devoted, enthusiastic team is both refreshing and encouraging; making me feel good about serving my community in what I can do to help people.  Our team genuinely cares about our patients; we share the same vision and work together towards common goals.  I feel respected, autonomous and challenged in my role as Nurse Practitioner. I love meeting people, sharing in their health care issues and being by their side to support them as the face some of the most difficult days or helping them rejoice in the victories. Many patients feel like extended family.  I love teaching and educating patients, students and colleagues, and I equally love to learn from them!
