A graduate of Northeastern University and Simmons University, Anna started her career as a nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. “Although I loved working in a hospital setting as a nurse, I wanted the opportunity to meet with patients in their community and work in a primary care setting,” she explains. “I am passionate about implementing preventative care and working with patients to come up with a healthcare plan that fits their goals and needs. And I know that I can have a more direct role doing that as an advanced practitioner.” Anna believes that it is important for providers and patients to work together to achieve their healthcare goals. “My favorite part of working as a nurse practitioner is being able to educate patients and their families so that they feel empowered to take care of their health.” In her spare time Anna enjoys running, reading and being with her family and three dogs.
