Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My mission is to provide patients’ access to high quality healthcare by meeting them where they are. Developing partnerships with patients & caregivers affords me the opportunity to turn what seems complex and difficult into simple and manageable. Striving everyday to walk the path beside patients' to empower them towards the best achievable state of health is my goal. Achieving that is life changing. 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 have a unique opportunity to apply the art of whole person care. The mind and body are interconnected and need to be addressed inclusively to ensure the best possible health outcome for the patients’ we serve. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? When I am not working with patients I enjoy paddleboarding, leisure time on the beach and listening to a local band or live concert music.
