I chose to go into advanced practice because I wanted to be more involved in my patient?s care. I love family medicine because I love being able to help young parents with all the challenges they face with a newborn child as well as help adult patients manage chronic conditions. It is important for my patients to know that I am here to listen, to understand and to advocate for them to get them reach their goals. I am passionate about preventive care and helping my patients understand what they can do to better their health.
