I was drawn to a career in medicine as it melds my interest in biology while allowing for engagement with a diverse array of people and serving others. My approach to care is forming a collaborative relationship with patients and shared decision making. I enjoy educating and giving patients the tools and resources to pursue their health goals. My areas of special interest include preventive medicine and wellness, allergies and asthma, managing chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and mental health. Outside of work I enjoy gardening, jewelry making, travel, reading, and almost anything outdoors.
