We are currently experiencing a technical issue that is impacting our ability to receive faxes. As a result, clinical documentation and prescription requests sent via fax may not be received. Our team is actively working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, though we do not yet have an estimated time for resolution. In the meantime, we encourage patients to use the patient portal for prescription refill requests or to call your primary care provider for any urgent needs. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we work to restore our systems.

I am a primary care pediatric nurse practitioner who finds educating and helping my patients and their families the most rewarding part of my career.
Throughout my undergraduate studies, I worked as a special education substitute teacher. This experience created a passion to help children and their families, which is why I pursued a career in pediatrics. I enjoy being a trustworthy provider and hope that my patients always feel comfortable under my care.
I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of New Hampshire before receiving my nursing degree from the University of New England. I received my master's in nursing from the pediatric nurse practitioner program at Case Western Reserve University. I completed my fellowship in cardiovascular and critical care at Boston Children’s Hospital.
I grew up in the Seacoast area of New Hampshire and have always enjoyed trips to York Beach and Portland with my family. I love living in Maine and experiencing all the beauty it has to offer. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, relaxing by the beach and skiing. I love reading and spending time with my family.
