she/her Albany, NY 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 I live and work in the capital district where I am an openly gay mom, wife and healthcare provider. I also hold a tenured faculty position at SUNY Delhi in their nursing program. I specialize in women’s health as well as LGBTQ+ healthcare and pride myself on providing culturally competent care. I’m a Sagittarius, a Boston to NY transplant and I used to own a women’s full contact football team. I love proving care to patients, I pride myself on creating meaningful patient experiences, I could talk a cat off a fish truck and I look forward to meeting you. 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 My doctoral work was on the training provided to nurses and doctors related to the healthcare needs of the LGBTQ+ population. Sadly, there is not enough training provided on the unique healthcare needs of the population. My goal, through working with and teaching future providers, is that some day we won’t have to have specialized healthcare and all providers will be able to treat LGBTQ+’patients. Until then, I am happy to be one of the providers with a specialty and 25+ years of working with the LGBT+ population. I’m a member of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA) as well as the North American Menopause Society, the NYS Nurse Practitioners Association.
