Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I have always felt compelled to help those in need, especially the sick. As I continued in my career, going from bedside nursing
to advanced practice, I was intrigued with the "investigative" side of medicine and linking signs and symptoms to a particular disease process.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I am compassionate toward my patients and passionate about my work. I will listen to you and hear your concerns.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I enjoy spending time with my family (both my human family and my flock of parrots). I also love to read and swim.
