Colorectal surgery allows me to help people in a way that makes me feel good. I like seeing problems from diagnosis to completion and feeling like I have a direct impact on the treatment of those problems. I'm passionate about deserving the trust that patients place in us when they come to see us for their care.

I chose to go into medicine because at a young age, I realized that I had compassion and a caring heart for others. And it just seemed natural for me to go into this field to help others. When I started nursing school and saw a baby being born, that was it. I worked in labor and delivery for over ten years before I went into women's health. I love my specialty, which is caring for women across the entire span of their lives. I especially have a special place in my heart for adolescents. The women who come to our clinic have questions and concerns and they often have very difficult things they need to talk about. And I strive to create a caring and comfortable environment where they feel safe sharing their needs so that I can better address them.
