I chose to become an advanced practice provider (APP) because I love improving the quality of life for others. There are so many ways to improve health and wellness, and I am grateful to be able to share these with my patients in a positive way and celebrate their progress with them. My philosophy and approach to patient care includes a collaborative and comprehensive path with the patient to achieve a state of well-being for the patient. Active listening and empathy are tools that I employ to attain goals with patients. My areas of interest include promoting adult health and wellness, and I am keenly interested in rheumatologic disorders. My passion outside of work is caring for and riding my horses.
