I chose a career in medicine because I want to improve the daily life of my patients and provide a welcoming experience to those who seek out help. My philosophy is to treat each patient as a family and friend. Building trust between provider/patient can help accomplish the goal of patient wellness both physically and mentally. I vow to devote my time to all components of patient care. I believe in transforming healthcare to fit the individual need of each patient. In my spare time, I enjoy summer activities such as wakeboarding, camping, and walking with my dog. During the winter months I like to escape to the mountains to snowboard and try new recipes to bake.
