As a board-certified pediatric nurse practitioner and certified pediatric emergency nurse, she led care in the pediatric ER for a decade, learning to stay calm in crisis and spot what truly matters. But it was becoming a mom that shaped how she listens. When her firstborn was only days old, she knew something wasn't right; he was too sleepy, barely feeding, but her worry was waved off. Hours later, he was rushed to the NICU with dangerously low blood sugar, where he stayed for two weeks. Since then, her family's journey has come with unique challenges, but one feeling never faded: wondering what might have been different if someone had truly listened.

That's the whole reason Heartbeat Pediatrics exists. She built it so Las Vegas families would always have a pediatric nurse practitioner with the time to listen, the access to respond, and the heart to take every concern seriously. Because she's been the worried parent in the waiting room, and she never forgot how it felt.
