Suzanne is a Family Nurse Practitioner with a longstanding commitment to patient-centered care across the Upper Valley region. Originally from New Jersey, she moved to Vermont at the age of four and was raised in the Northeast Kingdom alongside her four brothers.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Cum Laude, from Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire, and later completed her Master’s degree in Nursing at the University of Vermont. Early in her career, she spent 13 years in neonatal critical care, working closely with infants and their families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. During this time, she also supported Pediatric and Pediatric Intensive Care services and participated in high-risk neonatal transports by both ground and air.
Her critical care background led to opportunities providing in-home care for children with complex developmental and medical needs. This work shaped her deep appreciation for supporting individuals and families as they pursue wellness, balance, and meaning in their lives.
Following completion of her graduate training, Suzanne worked extensively in school-based and college health settings throughout the Upper Valley, delivering education, acute care, and primary care services, often to individuals without established access to a primary care provider.
Suzanne is motivated by improving access to care and believes that when individuals are supported within a safe, compassionate healthcare environment and provided with meaningful education, they are empowered to make informed decisions and work toward their health goals. Her approach emphasizes patient education, collaborative decision-making, and self care.
Suzanne credits much of her professional and personal growth to the patients and families she has had the privlege to work with over the 35 years she has practiced as a nurse in the Upper Valley.
