My grandfather was a doctor and he encouraged me to think about a career in medicine at an early age. When my father became terminally ill, I took care of him. That experience led me to know without a doubt that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. I like to treat everyone as if they are family. Decisions become clearer and going above and beyond leads to a satisfying career.

I enjoy caring for individuals across the continuum of life from birth to death. I believe in a team approach and developing a care plan that includes the patient’s beliefs, resources, experiences and expectations to attain optimum health.
