Overview
Philosophy of care | I enjoy the variety family medicine has to offer. I care for the entire family, from newborns to grandparents. My role is to listen to my patients and partner with them to achieve their health and wellness goals. | Why I entered medicine | I have a passion for science and working with people. This field offers a dedicated space to comfort others in times of vulnerability, not only by providing knowledge or answers, but also by simply being a human presence. | Community involvement | I have volunteered at the LVHN flu drive-thru and COVID clinics. | Personal interests | When not practicing medicine, I enjoy anything outdoors, including hiking and gardening with my husband and two daughters. I also love cooking and trying new recipes.
