Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I continue to be honored to care for families that trust me with this important time in their lives. This is not just a job but a true calling for me.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Care during pregnancy and birth must be built on a trusting relationship. I work to earn this trust with every interaction and believe in the expertise that every client brings to their care.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
Enjoying this beautiful region with my family and occasionally exploring other parts of the world.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Birth can be the foundation for social change.
