About
Philosophy of care
I believe everyone is deserving of the right for equal medical care of the highest quality. Those of us with a career in medicine should do everything possible to provide that care.
Why I entered medicine
I chose to be a Family Medicine Physician because I was raised to believe it is everyone's duty to help serve the community and offer the skills we were blessed with. I can't imagine a profession that is as rewarding and as enjoyable!
Community involvement
I am interested in serving our local community. My passion is to help educate women on following a healthy lifestyle and to make sure we are focusing on preventative medicine.
Personal interests
In my spare time, I love to watch old movies. I also enjoy outdoor activities and running. Most of all, my greatest passion in life is to laugh. I think it's important to fully enjoy the precious moments we are given.
