I have been practicing nursing for 35 years, 32 of those years in the NICU and 20 years as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. It has been my passion to care for the smallest and most fragile of patients and their families. I now split my time working in the Banner NICU and the Newborn Developmental Clinic at the Children’s Multi-Specialty Clinic in Tucson, AZ. I work with an interdisciplinary team that follows our NICU graduates until the age of three years, as well as assessing community referrals for children under three years with developmental delays and suspected autism. I am honored to be a participant in the LEND program and look forward to developing my leadership abilities and creating professional connections from the community which will help me to better serve and advocate for my patients.
