I initially went into college pursuing a health science degree for practical reasons, to have a stable and always in demand career. It turns out I quickly came to love the art and science of medicine and consider it a great privilege to be able to help people as my job.What I want my patients to know about me:I have worked several specialties as a physician assistant over the past 12 years. I have been in pediatrics for the past five years. Family and pediatric medicine have been my most satisfying areas to practice in because it allows me to create long-term relationships with my patients. Knowing as much as possible about my patients is important because I believe in treating the whole patient and not just the symptoms. What I do when I'm not seeing patients:I am usually spending time with my husband and two boys outdoors or working on one of the many projects to be done around our 19th century farmhouse renovation. I am also one of those people that like to run for fun.

"At about 10 years old, I told my parents I wanted to be a doctor. I think my parents thought it was a phase; what 10-year-old makes career declarations that actually hold true?! I think they started to take me seriously when my favorite TV show was surgery on The Learning Channel. I have always been fascinated by the elegance, science, and mystery of medicine. Add in the social aspect of medicine-getting to know your patients-and this extrovert was in heaven. Fast forward to college, and I discovered the PA profession, which allowed the perfect balance of career and personal life. What I want my patients to know about me:Most days I can honestly say that I love my job. I truly enjoy seeing patients of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. I love getting to know a patient's ""story."" I want to learn what makes a patient unique in both their lives and their healthcare needs. I enjoy Family Medicine because it gives me the opportunity to have many incredible experiences-seeing and treating a patient from the time they are born until they go away to college (and hopefully beyond), treating entire families, and treating multiple generations of the same family. And the best part-not one single day is the same!What I do when I'm not seeing patients:Much to the amusement of my family, friends and office staff, I enjoy knitting when I am not working. I find that knitting relaxes me. Plus, I end up with some really awesome sweaters and neck-wear. I also enjoy calligraphy, hand-lettering, journaling, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.".

As a student, I was consistently drawn to science courses, and this shaped my path throughout my education. I remember learning about the heart in high school anatomy class shortly after our family dog was diagnosed with a heart condition, and realizing that I was learning concepts that could be applied to all living beings. What I want my patients to know about me:I feel that it is important to take as much time as necessary to carefully listen to and address my patients' concerns. I also hope that good communication will go both ways. I want my patients to tell me if they don't understand something so that I can provide better care.What I do when I'm not seeing patients:I enjoy spending time with my husband, identical twin sister, and the rest of my family in my free time. You can find me outside on any day that the sun is shining! I enjoy weight lifting and I am currently training for my first half marathon.
