Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I chose to pursue a career in medicine because I wanted to be a part of people leading healthier lives. I also wanted to be there for patients during their time of need with care and compassion.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I was born and raised in Lebanon County. I've worked in a wide variety of settings, both inpatient and outpatient. I am passionate about gastroenterology and love taking time to not only listen to, but also educate, my patients.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I love spending time with my husband and our three children on our hobby farm. I love gardening, bee keeping, raising chickens and all things farm related. I am active in my church. My family loves the beach, and that is where we spend our time off. I have developed a love for running and am training for my second half marathon as well as doing CrossFit.
