About

Philosophy of care

Sports medicine covers care for all types of patients who are, or desire to be, physically active. I optimize non-surgical treatment options for a spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions and apply ultrasound imaging for an array of concerns. I help you identify your specific goals and expectations because that’s instrumental to shared decision-making and providing you optimal care.

Why I entered medicine

I pursued medicine out of a love for the science of our bodies in motion and a desire to help others be their best. After volunteering at a clinic in Bolivia, I knew medicine would be in my future. As a medical student, I was drawn to the knowledge and skill required in the care of athletes and active individuals. My background as a collegiate athlete affords me added perspective into the lives of my patients.

Community involvement

One of my favorite aspects of my profession is engaging with communities, both domestic and abroad, and encouraging community involvement in the health and well-being of the population. Healthy communities produce healthy people. I am an advocate for health equity and access to opportunities for physical activity; I have and actively seek out opportunities to improve sports participation and safety within communities through education, volunteerism and activism.

Personal interests

I am blessed to share life with my husband and our dog. We enjoy spending time with family, pursuing outdoor sports and activities, and traveling.
