Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about being a healthcare provider because I love building trust, connection, and personal care when helping people. I want my patients to feel helped, but also instill confidence in self care. I genuinely want people to be the best versions of 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? Primary Care Providers help individuals be the best versions of themselves possible. PCPs optimize physical and mental health, giving people greater confidence to move through this challenging world on a day to day basis. PCPs see and treat the whole patient as an individual. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am on the board of a maker space, which allows me to flex my creative mind. Art, exercise and connections in the community fill my cup, and are my natural anti-depressants.
