Practice philosophy: I work with your providers, educate about medications and conditions, and adjust medications to maximize their effect.

I combine clinical evidence and personal preference with the goal of empowering people to make informed decisions about their medications and about their health.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? A National Park Ranger - I enjoy hiking and traveling to national parks.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Everyone has an interesting and valuable story to share - it's our responsibility to listen. This helps me provide better care and develop better relationships with my patients and colleagues.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I'm always learning! Science and medicine are constantly discovering new information, and my patients share their wisdom with me as well. This keeps me engaged and challenged every day.

What are you most proud of? I'm most proud of my roles in my family as a parent, spouse, sister and daughter.
