About

Philosophy of care

I believe that building therapeutic relationships with my patients is the key to having conversations that foster healing and wellness. I strive to provide individualized and compassionate evidenced base care, along with providing education to patients on their diagnosis and conditions.

Why I entered medicine

As a young child, I always had a passion to care for others. My Dad had a major surgery when I was in 7th grade. I was able to observe how the healthcare team cared for him and knew I wanted to be a part of that. As I completed my science courses in high school, I found that my passion to care for others and love for the sciences merged and it was obvious that nursing was my career path.

Community involvement

I serve at the community outreach center at my church where we host a weekly soup kitchen.

Personal interests

I believe that nutrition and how we fuel our bodies is key to staying well and feeling our best. Often patients feel overwhelmed by figuring out what is best for them to eat. I encourage my patients to eat foods that are non-processed and whole real foods. Examples of food groups I encourage my patients to choose from include fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, 100% whole wheat grains, healthy fats, and meat, fish and beans.
