Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I chose to pursue a career in medicine because I am passionate about being able to use my knowledge and insights to help others achieve their optimal health, so that they are able to spend more time doing what they enjoy in life.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I was born and raised in the Shippensburg area. I am a detail-oriented provider who values listening to what my patients are feeling and thinking about their own health. I believe that incorporating shared decision-making when possible is an important aspect of helping patients achieve and maintain good health.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I am a firm believer that anyone with a career in medicine is a lifelong learner. When I'm not seeing patients, I like to spend time reading about various topics and gaining new knowledge every day so that I can best support my patients. In my free time, I enjoy reading for leisure, practicing yoga and meditation, and going on hikes in the area.
