About us

My decision to go into healthcare was based on several factors. I was strongly influenced by the poor health of my paternal grandparents and the many evenings I spent with them at the hospital. In addition, my maternal grandmother's 13-year journey with Alzheimer's disease profoundly affected me. Those circumstances, combined with my passion to care for and teach others, led to my career choice. \n I gravitated toward primary care because it allows me to form impactful, lasting relationships with my patients. I enjoy caring for them, teaching them and learning from them. \n My approach to healthcare is one of empathy, respect and honesty. I want you to feel comfortable asking me questions and to understand your own health and to be confident in the decisions we make about your health and wellness. \n I'm proud to be a member of the Pi Alpha National Honor Society for PA students and graduates. Membership is based on academic achievements, leadership, research and community and professional service. \n When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going for walks and reading on my Kindle. I also love travel, and my favorite meal is dessert.
