Biography
I have always had a strong interest in medicine. I remember wrapping ACE bandages on the family pets and giving them exams with my Fisher-Price medical set, even before I was in kindergarten.
I thought something in orthopedics was bound to be in my future, as I was a competitive gymnast until the age of 16. I realized my calling was to help women with their specialized health concerns while I was in my last year of medical school. Once I witnessed my first c-section delivery, I was hooked on becoming an OB/GYN. Pregnancy is such as special time in a woman’s life. I also enjoy counseling woman on various issues including prenatal care, contraception, managing abnormal pap smears, and performing life improving procedures to manage abnormal uterine bleeding.
I am originally from Colorado, but I grew up in the North Phoenix area, attending Deer Valley High School. I went to Texas for college, but returned to attend Midwestern University: Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale, AZ. I am asked almost on a weekly basis, “Where are you from?” This is due to the accent I gained from my 4 year long residency in Tennessee. I find it amusing that I still can’t seem to shake it, several years later.
My husband and I are the proud parents of two wonderful little girls, who each enrich our lives. Most of my free time is spent with my children, but I also enjoy catching up on my favorite recorded TV shows, reading, and I am an avid cross stitcher. I have previously practiced in the Scottsdale area for 3 years, and now, I am thrilled to be part of Valley Women for Women, since joining the team in June 2009.

Biography
My interest in medicine sparked in high school biology class. I soon came to realize that becoming a physician would provide a rewarding and interesting career.
I went onto the University of Arizona (go Cats!) where I received a Bachelors of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Through my volunteer and work experiences I found that in addition to my attraction to the science of medicine, the interpersonal relationship between a physician and patient was also a winning combination. I went to medical school at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale. I was fascinated by obstetrics in the first lecture of my second year. I recognized what an honor and privilege it truly would be to bring life into this world. I took a short side-track into family practice residency for one year at Phoenix Baptist Hospital and decided to change my specialty to ob-gyn. I then went off to Canton, OH for ob-gyn residency. The cold, dark winters brought me back home to sunny Arizona. I have been practicing in the Gilbert area for the last two years and am new to Valley Women for Women. I enjoy practicing full spectrum ob-gyn and especially love to see a woman through pregnancy, delivery, and then long term gyn care.
I am a native of Arizona. My husband, daughter, and I live in Gilbert. When time allows I love hiking, swimming, reading, and spending as much time as possible with family and friends

Biography
I am passionate about caring for women in all stages of their lives; from before birth into the "golden years".
I am excited to be in Arizona after a productive career in Rhode Island which spanned from 1993 to 2011. My professional interests include obstetrical and gynecological care with special emphasis in the perimenopausal and menopausal years. I also have a special interest in pediatric and adolescent gynecology. I enjoy working with women to find the right hormonal balance with both traditional and bioidentical hormones.
My surgical skills include vaginal and laparoscopic surgical techniques that promote the rapid return to normal activities. I also am skilled in the latest in-office surgical offerings including Essure permanent sterilization and cryo uterine ablations. I also offer laser surgery for treatment of certain gynecological conditions.
I have previously served as an Assistant Clinical Professor of the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University where I taught residents. I have also participated in Medical Missions to Honduras as part of Brown University's Global Health Initiative. I am very proud of the clinic I helped to start in Providence, Rhode Island and am always thrilled to see some of those patients here in Arizona!
I am the parent of two college-aged students and care for my 90+ year old live-in mother. I love to travel, especially in the Southwest. In my free time, I enjoy yoga, boating, and reading (preferably with a glass of pinot noir).

Biography
I am originally from a small town in New York where I spent endless hours outdoors and developed my love for nature and outdoor activities.
Our town had a volunteer ambulance corps, and I joined their youth program when I was 11 years old. There I received my very first medical training, receiving certifications in CPR, First Aid, and Water Rescue. This experience helped me to realize my love of caring for others.
My family moved to Tempe when I was in high school. I attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff and received my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing in 1997. Maternal/Child nursing has been my passion for the past ten years, as I have specialized in Nursery Intensive Care and Labor and Delivery at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn. I feel that caring for women and their family members during the amazing moment of childbirth is truly a gift. For the past five years, I have also been a Nursing Supervisor in the Family Birthing Suites at Osborn. Although I have enjoyed my job immensely, I always had a vision of furthering my education and focusing more on preventative medicine in a primary care setting for women. I attended Arizona State University and received my Master's Degree in Nursing with a specialty in Women's Healthcare Nurse Practitioner studies in May 2008. I am excited to be at Valley Women For Women to provide exceptional healthcare to women throughout their lifespan and to promote health and well being.
My husband and I have lived in Gilbert for seven years. We have two daughters, ages 2 and 4. It has been rewarding watching them learn and grow. I also enjoy hiking, camping, traveling, and reading.

Biography
My love of nursing began on my 8th birthday when my aunt presented me with my first stethoscope.
I knew from that day, that my calling was in the art of nursing and I have been practicing in women's health since becoming a nurse in 1986. I have been actively involved in community and nursing education, research and continue to support nursing education teaching through the University of Phoenix in the College of Nursing. I am a California native and recently relocated to Gilbert in 2008, where I now reside with my husband Paul. We have three wonderful children and they are indeed the joy of our lives. My hobbies are music, playing the piano, NASCAR and Porsche, swimming and everything Titanic; the ship, not the movie. I love watching my son play football and daughter play volleyball and yes, I am one of those mothers yelling from the stands. I am very privileged to be working with such a wonderful group of talented women here at Valley Women for Women and look forward to caring for and serving the women of this community.

Biography
After having my first child I knew I wanted to be a nurse and help others. I started my nursing career as a labor & delivery, post-partum and newborn nursery nurse.
Several years later I accepted an offer from a physician to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner. After 16 years I have never looked back and enjoy working with women of all ages to jointly help them address and resolve the female health challenges they encounter as they journey thru the stages of their life.
I am a native Arizonan, growing up in the Valley. I enjoy traveling with my husband, or spending time with our seven children and beautiful grandchildren. I also like to cook, read, go for walks and just about any activity that involves being outside in the sunshine.
I am very excited to be part of the team at Valley Women for Women and look forward to establishing a close partnership with the patients whom I will serve.

Biography
As a third generation native of Arizona I grew up loving the outdoors. Raised in a small mining town, I had the Superstition Mountains as my backyard.
Riding horseback and swimming in mountain creeks are part of my earliest memories. My love of the outdoors continues and has expanded to include golfing, hiking and sking. I also love to travel and am an avid reader. My life has been blessed with four wonderful sons who have presented me with seven beautiful grandchildren. From an early age I wanted to be a nurse. There were always animals around my house that needed to be cared for. Comforting and mending came as second nature. I entered nursing school at age eighteen and was working as a nurse within a year. I have always loved women's health working as a labor and delivery RN for many years prior to returning to school to become a Nurse Practitioner in 1993. My passion is caring for women throughout their life span, including teen issues, pregnancy, contraception and hormonal questions in relation to menopause.
