Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about providing accessible care to everyone. Increasing access is one of the ways that we, as a country, can start to catch up to other countries with better health outcomes. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? A primary care provider is that trusted care giver that knows you from head to toe. The one that knows your deepest thoughts and feelings, and helps you meet your healthiest possible self with your goals in mind. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy eating at new restaurants, spending time with my two adult children, and reading.
