Why did you become a physician/provider? I've always wanted to help people. I love that nursing provides an opportunity for a variety of experiences. As a nurse practitioner I enjoy getting to know my patients and connecting with them.
What qualities best describe the care you provide your patients? Personable, dependable, desire for patients to feel understood.
Being a healthcare provider, what drives/motivates you each day? To make a positive difference in each patient’s life.
What is the most important thing patients should know about you and your practice? I truly understand how life-altering a cancer diagnosis can be. Having a provider understand, hopefully makes it easier for patients to relate.
Personal Interests: Spending time outdoors, enjoying time with my family, traveling.
