What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am passionate about providing care to help people feel their best! I believe in treating the whole person and I love that my job enables me to help people with their problems. 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? The role of a primary care provider is multi faceted. We must provide a compassionate listening ear as well as provide teaching and encouragement to our patients while adhering to recommended treatment guidelines to provide safe, effective care. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I love to read, travel, go on cruises, cook, and spend time with my family and my three cats.
