Background

I grew up in southern Rensselaer county. I received my BS in Nursing from Russell Sage College and my MS in nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Sage Graduate School. I am ANCC board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). While going to NP school, I worked in the NICU and Pediatric/GYN units at St. Peters Hospital. My goal was to work in women’s & children’s health as an NP. Unfortunately when I graduated, local NP positions were extremely limited. Therefore, I worked in family practice (mainly pediatrics and GYN) for one year in VT & ophthalmology for 3 years locally, and I also became certified as a Surgical First Assistant. I missed women’s health, and decided to take a position at Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood. I worked there for 3 years, before taking this position here at Albany IVF.

I have always loved women’s and children’s health. Infertility has been a specialty that I have always found interesting and have experienced with close friends and family. When the position became available here, I was very excited to become more specialized and take on this new role.

I have a daughter and can certainly empathize with the patient’s here and their struggle to become and remain pregnant. I absolutely love being a mother and want to give that ability to my patients if I can and Lord willing. I feel so honored that I can be a part of making someone’s dream of having a family come true.
