What is your practice philosophy? My practice philosophy focuses on treating the whole person not just the illness.
What are you passionate about? And why? I am passionate to have all my patients live their best life by promoting physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: Campground host because I I love camping, the outdoors and meeting new people.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? My first job was in healthcare as a nursing assistant in a nursing home, since then I knee I wanted to be in nursing. Being able to be with a person when they are vulnerable and being able to help is enlightening.
Something I have learned from my patients is: Every patient has their own story and are not just a diagnosis. I enjoy listening to my patients talk about their family or other important things in their life.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): One challenge that I enjoy about working in healthcare is that is constantly changing. Medicine is always changing and it is important to stay up to date with new treatment recommendations. Everyday I get to learn something new and provide my patients with the best care.
My personal health goal is: My personal health goal is 30 minutes of exercise daily and 8 hours a sleep a night.
What are a few of your personal achievements? Being a mom to 4 wonderful kids.
