Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Helping people lead healthier lives and supporting them through all stages of life is what makes healthcare so rewarding. That opportunity to make a positive change in their lives is what motivates me every day! 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 should serve as the first point of contact for a patient’s overall health, addressing both physical and behavioral needs. By offering comprehensive care, we can provide a holistic approach to healing. This special relationship allows primary care providers to guide patients towards a better health outcome. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and exploring, maintaining a healthy active lifestyle. In the winter time, you’ll find me skiing or skating. In warmer weather, I enjoy taking my goldendoodle for runs and hiking. I love to travel, explore new places, trying new cuisines, while spending quality time with friends and family.
