Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

When I was in the military, deployed on a peace-keeping mission in Kosovo, a lot of people around me were struggling with depression and other issues, including suicide. I wanted to do something to help

What I want my patients to know about me:

I'm originally from Perry County and I have family in the area so, I wanted to practice locally. I previously was a psychiatric nurse and cared for a lot of patients all at once. In this new role, I'm really looking forward to meeting with patients individually and working with them to resolve their problems on a regular basis so they can thrive in their family, home, work, and school environments.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I like fishing, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.
