As a physician assistant, I chose this career path because I have always been passionate about making a difference in people's lives. Growing up in a small town with limited access to healthcare, I saw firsthand the challenges people face when it comes to health literacy and accessing quality care. Becoming a PA allowed me to fill that gap, expanding access to healthcare for those who need it most. I truly enjoy helping people reach their healthiest selves, and I take pride in ensuring that no one has to face their health journey alone. My approach to patient care is patient-centered and evidence-based. I believe in building a strong partnership with my patients, tailoring healthcare plans to their unique goals while incorporating the latest, proven medical practices. This approach allows me to support patients in achieving optimal health while respecting their individual needs and preferences. I have a particular interest in women's health, dermatology, and behavioral health. I also find great fulfillment in managing a variety of health conditions and building lasting relationships with my patients, especially in a family medicine setting where I can care for people across all stages of life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, reading, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. These activities allow me to unwind and recharge, ensuring that I bring my best self to my patients each day.

I chose to become a dietitian as I was a competitive distance runner in high school and college and saw the interaction between good nutrition and enhanced performance. In addition to the competitive athlete, I also noted how nutrition affected persons with recreational sports. My philosophy on patient care is patient-directed. Patients need to share their goals, so they buy into their nutritional plan of care to achieve success. A customized patient care plan is what I aim to achieve in practice. Outside of being at work, I am an exercise enthusiast. I love to run-- distances for both mental and physical release. I enjoy weightlifting, love walking and especially, long walks with my dogs. I love to travel and really enjoy reading various books with girlfriends in book club.
