I am a triple board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in primary care across the lifespan, chronic disease management, women's health, and opioid/substance use disorder. ### Why did you want to become a nurse? I chose healthcare because I grew up being a patient at Riley Hospital after I survived a house fire when I was 5 years old in which I was burned over 40% of my body. The nurses and doctors were such an inspiration to me throughout the years of care I required. I've wanted to be a nurse for as long as I remember. I love practicing a Schneck because Schneck is committed to excellence. There is consistent work towards improving the outcomes of our patients and improving the health of the community. I feel privileged to be a part of an organization that is making such a positive impact on the lives of the people we serve. ### Where did you grow up? What do you like to do when you are not at work? I grew up in Greensburg, Indiana. I enjoy the time with my husband, daughter, and our fur babies We love trips to Tennessee with friends and riding our RZR in the mountains any time of year. I bought a Jeep 2 years ago. It's been so fun modifying it and being part of the Jeep community. ### Insurance Plans Accepted - Aetna Cofinity - Aetna Commercial - Aetna Coventry - Aetna First Health - Aetna Medicare Advantage - Anthem Commercial - Anthem Health Sync - Anthem Healthy Indiana Plan HIP - Anthem Medicare Advantage - Anthem Work Comp WC - Caresource Marketplace Exchange - Cigna - Corvel Workers Compensation WC - Devoted (Medicare Advantage) - Encore - Humana Choice Care Commercial - Humana Choice Care Medicare Advantage - IU Health Medicare Advantage - Medicaid Traditional - Medicare Traditional - MHS Ambetter Marketplace Exchange - MHS WellCare Medicare Advantage - Multiplan - Provider Health Partners - Railroad Medicare - Sagamore - Sana Benefits - SIHO - SIHO My Tru Medicare Advantage - Three Rivers - United Healthcare Commercial - United Healthcare Hoosier Care Connect HCC - United Healthcare Medicare Advantage - United Healthcare VA Coordinated Care VACCN - UHC/Optum LIFE1 (AARPMCLIFE) - TriCare East - TriCare for Life - Champus VA - Humana Pathways for Aging (HUMPATHMD) - UHC Pathways for Aging (UHCPATHMD) ## Providing Care at These Locations ### [Schneck Primary Care - Professional Building Level 2](https://www.schneckmed.org/locations/schneck-primary-care-professional-building-2) Schneck Professional Bldg., Levels 2 411 W.
