Amber Harms
Nurse Practitioner
When I was a senior in high school, we had to complete a senior project. I chose to shadow my aunt who was an RN in the ER, and I immediately loved it. I love hearing people’s stories, struggles, and resiliency. Healthcare felt meaningful to me because it allows me to show up during patients’ most vulnerable moments, helping them feel seen and supported. As a Nurse Practitioner, I value understanding the whole person—not just treating symptoms. Their values, goals, and care matter to me, and I enjoy working together to achieve overall wellness.
To me, the most enjoyable part of caring for patients is easing their fears and helping them feel more in control of their health by achieving small goals that can lead to bigger ones. Improving each person’s quality of life is incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful for the work I do.
