Becoming a nurse practitioner allowed me to delve deeper into addressing the specific concerns of youth, particularly in Colorado, where substance use among young people posed significant challenges. Through my work, I've encountered diverse situations that have enriched my understanding and honed my ability to provide effective care and support.
As emergency medicine includes all patient from birth to old age I naturally wanted to join the adolescent care team with Boulder. Going the extra mile for my younger patients feels very important to me as I know navigating the world and the health care system as a teen or young adult can be really challenging.
My dog and working out, but mostly just my dog.
Even on the best of days growing from a child to an adult is incredibly hard and using substances usually makes life even harder. In health care a lot of times different clinics do not see patients under the age of 18 and this is a big problem when trying to stop using drugs. We are all proud to meet adolescents and young adults who might not have access to all help that adults have.
