Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I love working with patients to help find creative ways to reach their goals. I believe it is important to work as a team because there is never one solution fits all. 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? To understand what is important to each individual patient and find ways to achieve that. I think it is always important to listen and not all conditions are just physical or behavioral health, they can intertwine frequently. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love spending time with my family and our two dogs. I also volunteer training service dogs for other veterans.
