As an RN, I worked in diverse inner-city settings, including the emergency department at Rush University Medical Center, while completing my Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Rush University. I began my Nurse Practitioner career at Teen Living Programs in Chicago, providing primary care and health education to homeless, college-age youth, many from the LGBTQIA+ community who had experienced family rejection and racial trauma. Caring for college-age populations has always been my passion. I previously served as the Symptom Surveillance Supervisor, leading BU\u2019s Triage Healthcare Specialists in the Back2BU COVID-19 program. Now, I am honored to continue supporting BU students at Student Health Services, delivering compassionate, high-quality primary care tailored to their unique needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal Hobbies<\/strong><br \/>\n<span>Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga, taking my Boston Terrier, Ferdinand, on walks, and spending quality time with my husband and our two college-age sons. You\u2019ll also often find me at Agganis Arena, cheering on our Terriers and soaking in the excitement of hockey games<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Education &amp; Training<\/strong><br \/>\nMSN, Rush University<br \/>\nBSN, University of Illinois at Chicago<br \/>\nRegistered Nurse<br \/>\nFamily Nurse Practioner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16413,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/863"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/863\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":864,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/863\/revisions\/864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
