<\/a>What is your role in the Department and what patients do you serve?<\/h3>\nAs part of our UNC Nephrology team, I see patients\u00a0in the Pittsboro and Siler City dialysis centers. I currently have 98 patients that I round on between these two clinics. I see each patient\u00a0three times per month while they are receiving dialysis. My frequent visits have allowed me to get to know my patients very well and I am proud to provide care\u00a0in these rural, often underserved areas of our state.<\/p>\n
Where are you from?<\/h3>\n
This is always a difficult question…my dad is a homebuilder which had my family moving all over the Eastern US while I was growing up. I was born in Texas, finished high school and attended college in Ohio (at Bowling Green State University), then moved here to NC where most of my family currently lives. While I have jumped around quite a bit, I have now lived in NC the longest, so I would definitely call this home.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Did you always envision yourself as an APP?<\/h3>\nI received my BSN as a second degree and thought I would immediately return to school to become an APP. However, after I started working as a bedside nurse in the Medical ICU, I\u00a0found I absolutely adored critical care and was learning and growing so much in that role. I stayed in the MICU for over eight years. When I started a family I knew it was time to move to a role that was more compatible with my family life. The good news is I see similar patients in my job now as a Nephrology NP and I believe that my time in the MICU has been invaluable in helping me serve this patient population.<\/p>\n
What is the most rewarding part of your work?<\/h3>\n
The best part of my job is that I see my patients so frequently and really become a part of their lives. The joy that comes from seeing a patient go for a renal transplant after years of dialysis or the heartache of end-of-life discussions is all more real because of how close our patient-provider relationship is.<\/p>\n
How has your role evolved over time since you\u2019ve been here?<\/h3>\n
I have only been in this role for a short time, about 1.5 years. At one time I was also working with the expanding dialysis program at Hillsborough Hospital but have since moved to exclusively dealing with my two outpatient clinics.<\/p>\n
What is one thing that you wish people knew about your job?<\/h3>\n
The outpatient dialysis world was very new to me. The clinics open at 4:30 in the morning for the first shift of patients and the second shift is usually done by 4 in the afternoon. This makes for a very different schedule compared to most jobs with early morning call, but luckily it works perfectly for me (I\u2019m a morning person!).<\/p>\n
Personally or professionally, what are you most proud of?<\/h3>\n
Hands down it is my three amazing children: Natalie (age 6), Eli (age 4), and Gideon (8 months). I feel so incredibly lucky to have them in my life and never take these crazy, often challenging days of having three littles for granted.<\/p>\n
If you didn\u2019t have a career in medicine, what would you be doing?<\/h3>\n
Medicine is fascinating to me. It is structured, technical, and ever evolving.\u00a0However, I also have this creative side to my brain that I like to use but never felt brave enough to pursue a creative career. So, if it wasn\u2019t medicine, I would like to be doing landscape design, illustrating, home design, or something else artistic.<\/p>\n

<\/a>What hobbies do you enjoy outside of work?<\/h3>\nI enjoy gardening, running, working out, drawing, and of course exploring with my husband and three kiddos!<\/p>\n
If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?<\/h3>\n
I\u2019d have to say pizza since (let\u2019s be honest) even a bad pizza is still good. I would want that perfect New York style crust with TONS of veggies and other toppings.<\/p>\n
What is the best advice you\u2019ve ever received?<\/h3>\n
My grandmother always told me that singing and dancing keeps you young.<\/p>\n
What do you hope to accomplish in the next year?<\/h3>\n
I am still very new to this role and to the Nephrology division, so would like to keep working toward expanding my knowledge within this specialty.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the last song you listened to?<\/h3>\n
