About Sue

I am a double board-certified women’s health care nurse practitioner and reproductive endocrinology and infertility nurse with over 30 years of professional experience in the fertility and women's health field, evaluating and treating both female and male fertility issues as well as providing general prenatal and gynecologic care throughout all phases of life. I have worked in both OBGYN and Reproductive Endocrinology/Infertility (REI) private practices, as well as in the telehealth fertility industry. I also am the proud daughter of an OBGYN and a passionate lifelong volunteer. From a very young age I learned many valuable lessons watching both of my parents make a positive difference in the lives of others. 

I care for all people, as individually or as a couple. Throughout my career I have had great opportunities in this field which have taught me so much. I developed and managed a donor egg program in an REI clinic. I developed and managed a fertility program in an OBGYN clinic, where I also provided general obstetric and gynecologic care including menopausal hormone therapy before the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study was prematurely released and hormone therapy came to a dramatic halt. I was a fertility consultant with a fertility pharmaceutical conglomerate. I was a nurse practitioner and manager in a leading IVF REI clinic. I was the lead in an onco-fertility preservation program. I provided nationwide telehealth services for male fertility. I’ve worn many hats and have seen an enormous amount of change in this field to land me here - opening Conceivable Fertility and Wellness. I am very excited for my journey to continue, and for it to be shared with you.

When I’m not in the clinic you’ll find me outdoors - sipping coffee in the morning sunshine, running in all kinds of weather, walking our golden retrievers, paddle boarding, relaxing at our cabin, attending sporting events, and spending quality time with my husband and adults kids.
