What I Do
My philosophy of care is to listen first and show empathy with expertise.
I am passionate about advocating for the entire family experience. From delivering a newborn and following their development through childhood, to caring for young adults, I am dedicated to supporting families through all stages of life. Additionally, I am committed to addressing the health challenges faced by elderly family members, embracing the full spectrum of family dynamics.
Why I Love My Work
What I enjoy most about my work is the unique opportunity to connect with my patients on a personal level, sharing moments of joy, laughter, and sometimes tears.
My father, a family physician who provided comprehensive care, was a significant influence on my decision to pursue a career in healthcare. I admired him greatly as a child and continue to look up to him today.
Getting to Know Me
Outside of work, I enjoy watching my kids participate in their various activities. I've also biked 500 miles over six days from Minneapolis to Chicago on two different occasions as part of a fundraising event.
