I'm passionate about: My two cats, which are like family to me. I also enjoy spending time tending to my fish.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be a: cook, because I like making tasty, yet healthy creations.
I knew I wanted to become a physician because: I grew up wanting to become a veterinarian, but changed my mind in undergrad. I enjoyed the field of medicine, however, realized the importance of communicating and developing relationships with my patients, which made family practice a more desirable option.
My personal health goal is: to continue making strides in the gym, such as weighted pull-ups and lifting heavier weights during my workouts.
The best thing I've done for my health is: to work with a personal trainer in the gym, and become more cognizant about my food choices.
I am most proud of: earning degrees in microbiology, genetics, and Spanish during four years of undergraduate studies at Iowa State University.
A few of my personal achievements include: losing 30 lbs., while increasing my percent of lean muscle mass as a part of a six-month, self-directed research project; knowing nothing about being an aquarist to breeding and raising my own cichlids; and completing RAGBRAI (the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa).
