I chose to become a family medicine doctor in order to have the opportunity to see each patient through a broader lens, to make medical decisions based on the whole person and to help educate people on their conditions to empower them to take an active role in their health. My approach to patient care is to deliver quality care through evidence-based medicine, while considering all of the intricacies of the individual patient's life and health goals. Outside of work, I like to try new recipes, travel, read, participate in group exercise classes and run with my dog.

I strive to empower patients through education and encouragement to take responsibility for their own health. I want to help patients live longer, more fulfilling lives by helping them manage their chronic illnesses. I encourage primary prevention and wellness. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, exercise, reading and volunteering in church ministry.
