About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy of care is to apply the same passion, tenacity and focus to you as I would if caring for my own loved ones. To quote Hippocrates: "Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity."

Why I entered medicine

I chose to become a nurse practitioner after my brother was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. I witnessed his care and decided I wanted to provide the same compassion in support of my patients and their families throughout some of the most difficult times of their lives.

Community involvement

At a time of pandemic and protests, I have volunteered at COVID vaccine clinics and rallied in support of colleagues with racially diverse backgrounds.

Personal interests

I love spending time with my husband and husky enjoying the outdoors, whether hiking or grilling in the summer or snowshoeing in the winter. My husband and I also enjoy cooking together and experimenting with new recipes.
