What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am passionate about developing relationships with patients where we work together as a team to create healthy outcomes. I enjoy learning and teaching to better improve the quality of care that is being provided. 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 should be to listen and observe, be open and aware, research, analyze, develop a plan of care, and educate. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to explore, travel, and experience anything and everything.
