I began my professional career in the early 80s at St. Vincent’s Hospital and Medical Center in New York City, initially as a student nurse, followed by a cardiac intensive care registered nurse. After 11 years of ‘fixing broken’ hearts, I realized I wanted to step away from the bedside and devote the rest of my professional career focused on preventing cardiovascular disease. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in cardiac rehabilitation nursing from Columbia University’s School of Nursing. My postgraduate training included a doctorate in education in applied exercise physiology from Columbia University’s Teachers College and a post-master’s degree adult-geriatric nurse practitioner (AGNP-C) certificate from Adelphi University College of Nursing and Public Health.

As a certified adult-geriatric nurse practitioner and program manager at NYU Langone’s Cardiac Rehabilitation—Mineola, I am deeply committed to promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyle changes for individuals with or at risk for cardiovascular disease. I am actively involved with research specific to cardiovascular disease prevention strategies.

Throughout my professional journey, I have been most passionate about exploring community-based partnerships to improve health and eliminate disparities in communities that experience a disproportionate burden of heart disease and stroke. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive, lifestyle change interventions and promoting healthy behaviors for all individuals while understanding the population determinants of wellness, health, and disease.
