What inspired you to get into medicine?
I love helping people and enjoy solving problems; every day brings new challenges. I started my career as an RN but wanted more of a challenge, so I continued my education. Now, I have the opportunity to keep learning as medicine evolves and changes at a rapid pace.
What is your favorite part about working in the medical field?
I truly enjoy giving my absolute best to care for my patients. Working with the people in this community is incredibly rewarding.
What can a patient expect when choosing you as their provider?
I enjoy spending time with my patients and encouraging them to make changes that support happy and healthy lives. My goal is to be a trusted partner in their healthcare journey.
What do you like to do in your downtime?
Most of my downtime is spent with my family. I am married, and we have a daughter and three sons (I love doing "mom stuff" most of the time!). We like to spend time at the lake and frequently get together with family and friends. I enjoy reading and baking and outdoor activities like hiking, traveling, and gardening.
What is one interesting, unique or fun thing that most people may not know about you?
My mother, who is a retired Astera Health employee, introduced me to my husband, who is also an Astera Health employee!
