I have been a dedicated nurse for over 20 years and a nurse practitioner for nearly a decade. My journey to becoming a healthcare provider began at the age of 12 when a compassionate doctor took the time to explain a procedure I might have to undergo. That moment of kindness left a lasting impact on me and inspired my career path.
    I earned my degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and later completed my nursing prerequisites before obtaining my RN degree from Regis University in Denver. My early nursing career was focused primarily on oncology, where I had the privilege of caring for both children and adults for about 8 years. I also spent a few years teaching nursing, which further fueled my commitment to advancing my education. In 2015, I graduated with a Master’s degree from Regis University, Denver, and have since been working primarily in primary care and mental health.
   My passion for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) emerged in 2018 when I encountered many women struggling with menopausal symptoms and realized I needed to do more to help. I pursued a comprehensive four-part course in HRT and began treating both women and men. The positive outcomes I witnessed not only validated my efforts but also deepened my commitment to this field, making it a cornerstone of my practice.
