In her role as a nurse practitioner specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, Heather provides education and care to mothers and babies during pregnancy and postpartum. “I started my nursing career in labor and delivery. I have always worked with moms or babies in some aspect, including high risk, OB, neonatal, intensive care, postpartum, or preventive care,” Heather says.
As a provider her goal is to focus on health, promotion, disease prevention to provide optimal health, education, and counseling through evidence-based care.
“I develop trusting relationships between myself, the patient and families, and anticipate the type of patient that will be seen,” she says. This allows Heather to follow best practices for diagnosis and help to educate and teach the patient how to be healthy on their own.
In her own words…
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? My very first job was at the Disney store. The company philosophy is to inspire, inform and entertain people based on creativity, innovation and technology. This still holds true for me today even in medicine. We sometimes need to come up with creative, life-changing situations that help to inspire our patients to make changes.
What is your favorite food? Favorite food: popcorn. I could eat it every day.
What are your hobbies, interests? Traveling. I love to go new places and make it a priority to see and go somewhere different once a year.
Do you have pets? I have a mini zoo at my house. I have a German shepherd, a cat, a bunny, guinea pigs, a turtle, chickens and a duck.
What is something most people don’t know about you? Growing up, I took over 18 years of classical ballet, tap, and ballroom dancing classes!
