Hello!

I am a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner originally from Buffalo, NY. After obtaining a degree in nursing, I began working as a critical care nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Sisters of Charity Hospital. My NICU experience encouraged me to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, earning my doctoral degree from the University of Pittsburgh. My first published children’s book, Small But Mighty, is a tribute to the bond between a mother and her NICU baby.

I live in Jupiter, Florida and work in the NICU at Jupiter Medical Center. My husband, Peter, and I have two rambunctious kiddos, Peyton and Eli. In my spare time, I love going to the beach and playing with my adorable dogs. I have a few more children’s books in the works – stay tuned!

2023 : Good Morning, Jupiter

I began my first job as a NICU nurse at Sisters of Charity Hospital in Buffalo, NY. This led me to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and pursue a doctoral degree from the University of Pittsburgh.

2022 : More Books!

I released three new children’s books in 2022, including Mindy the Manatee, Our Baby is in the NICU and N is for NICU. I also welcomed my NICU graduate, Eli, in October of 2022.

2021 : Move to Jupiter, Florida

Following the birth of my daughter, Peyton, I relocated from New York to pursue a career in the NICU at Jupiter Medical Center. I immediately fell in love with the warm weather and beautiful beaches!

2018 : First Published Book, Small But Mighty

In November of 2018, I published my first children’s book entitled, Small But Mighty, to help new mothers bond with their babies in the NICU.
