I received my MSN at Columbia University in New York City in 1990 and am board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I’ve worked in diverse areas including HIV/AIDS, women’s health, substance dependency, Hospice and Palliative Care, and Family Medicine. I’ve worked at Jamestown for the past 14 years and I volunteer at The Sequim Free Clinic and with End-of-Life Washington. I am a poet and medical writer and enjoy reading, baking, and photography
