What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I've wanted to be a healthcare provider since I was a kid. I'm living my dream and enjoy partnering with patients in their health. I believe in empowering others to be able to achieve their full potential in their healthcare. 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? A primary care provider is a partner for patients with a unique and broad background of training that encompasses the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of patients. By looking at all aspects, a provider can assist in developing a well-rounded plan, unique to each patient. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love being outdoors! Hiking, camping and just enjoying nature with my husband and family.
