I am currently a Doctoral candidate at Drexel University and expect to complete my DNP degree in May 2019. I am currently working at UCSF Medical Center as Nurse Practitioner II with the Department of Urology.

I have worked as a registered nurse since 1996 and completed my Masters of Science in Nursing in 2007 with a major in Advanced Practice Nursing: Adult Acute Care. As an Advanced Practice Nurse, I have had supervisory, instructional, research, quality improvement and clinical experience in Medical-Surgical, and various specialty surgery services. I was a service chief nurse practitioner at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center and simultaneously was an adjunct clinical faculty at New York University College of Nursing prior to joining UCSF.
