What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I switched careers at an older age because I was not satisfied with just making money. I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. The best part about being a PA is seeing the lasting impact I have made. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? It is important to treat the whole person. As a PCP, you need to be able to understand your patients and connect with them to become partners in making them healthy. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? Being healthy is very important to me. I work out (CrossFit) and play Rugby. I also like to travel and see new places and cultures.
