Biography

When I was in elementary school, I always decided that I would either be a teacher or a doctor. I believe that I simply wanted to do something that made a difference in a person's life. I believe in motivating my patients to take control of their health. I am here to help explain best approaches to health, limiting disease, preventative care and strongly encourage a partnership in attaining this. I feel having a Medical Degree in Osteopathy and a Masters in Public Health have a significant benefit to my patient, because I have learned many different approaches of attaining individual optimum health.

In my spare time, I simply love hanging out with my two children, my dog and my husband. We love to try out restaurants and we enjoy swimming at the beach or in the pool.
