I became interested in the medical field at a very young age after watching my mother, a nurse, care for patients. I was also named after a family member who passed away from a congenital heart disease. These things inspired me to seek a career as a physician assistant so that I could help treat patients and work to improve their lives. I enjoy family medicine as I truly enjoy caring for the whole patient. I strive to work together with my patients to improve their health and achieve our health goals. Outside of the office, I enjoy running and spending time with my husband and our child.
