Practice philosophy: Every patient deserves access to comprehensive and compassionate dermatologic care. I strive to work with patients as a team through shared decision making, advocacy and patient education. As a team we can meet goals.
What are you passionate about and why? Education, being a good listener and empathy.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? An interior decorator.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? Ever since I can remember.
What is something you have learned from your patients? The importance of tailoring care to each patient’s specific needs.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Multitasking- balancing career with parenthood. I think being a parent helps me to be a better provider and vice versa.
What is your personal health goal? To be happy, healthy and productive as long as I can.
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Don’t smoke. Worrying about something doesn’t help or change anything. So just don’t.
What are you most proud of? My kids and family.
