Hometown: St. Paul, MN
Practice Philosophy: Working as a team with patients, specialists and other providers to achieve goals.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be a: archeologist. This would satisfy my interest in history, and my love of digging in the dirt and hunting for small treasures.
The best part of my work is: helping individuals understand what is happening with their health and helping them to make decisions regarding care and treatments. I also enjoy learning about my patients lives.
My patients say that I: listen and care.
