What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I enjoy building relationships with my patients. It is so rewarding to be a part of their healthcare plan and to see their progress overtime. 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? I feel a primary care provider ‘s role is to provide physical and mental health care for their patient while also incorporating preventative care. A primary care provider should be available, advocate and provide resources for their patients when health concerns arise. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and three daughters riding our bikes and swimming. We also just got a puppy and enjoy taking him on long walks.
