Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Being a healthcare provider allows me to combine three things I love and am passionate about: science, helping others, and complex problem solving. It brings me great joy to partner with patients as they achieve the health and wellness goals they have set for themselves! 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? I view my role as your PCP to listen, make recommendations, and hold a space that allows you the freedom to choose what is in your best interest. I believe in a collaborative patient care model and I take your input seriously. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I try to balance my life with physical activity and quiet activity. I love to trail run with my dog, lift weights, kitesurf, ski, practice yoga, read, listen to podcasts, and cook. I have run multiple marathons and a 50 miler! I hold a Crossfit Level 1 certification, a trauma-informed breathwork certification, and an obesity medicine certification.
