Grace became a nurse practitioner after spending some time working in clinical trials and later realizing she preferred working hands-on with patients instead of in research. Now she loves to use her knowledge about science and medicine to help her patients.

Grace loves working in a primary care practice because it allows her to get to know her patients over a long period of time. “Working in the hospital I didn’t often get to see patients again or build long-term relationships with them,” she explains. “Now working at Reliant I love educating patients about preventative medicine and helping them live healthier lives. I hope that my patients feel empowered to be healthy and I hope they feel truly cared for. I try never to lose sight of how human connection enhances patient care.”

Grace loves being able to help others. “I find it rewarding to help a patient navigate a difficult time in their lives and leave a visit feeling hopeful and having a plan,” she explains. “I love to problem solve and work with patients to help them succeed.”

In her spare time Grace enjoys a number of hobbies including sewing, embroidery, cooking, hiking, and playing the guitar.” I also enjoy trying new restaurants with my husband around Boston and spending time with my family in Western Massachusetts.
