About Me
Areas of interest: I am dedicated to providing compassionate care to marginalized populations and promoting Family medicine through education and advocacy. My interests are resident and medical student education, reproductive health, chronic pain, substance use disorder, gender affirming care, wellness, advocacy and community medicine.
Hobbies: When not at work I love being active through hiking, running, yoga and dance. I am also a huge fan of live music; both seeing concerts and playing the ukulele with family and friends.
Why am I passionate about Family Medicine? Family medicine allows me to care for every person that walks into clinic. It also encouraged the building of trusting relationships and integration into the community that I serve. This allows me to treat the entire patient including their health, social determinants, and their family members! Family Physicians can do it all!
