Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I am an experienced healthcare provider specializing in the management of diabetes. I am personable, caring, and most of all, I am committed to developing a trusting client-provider relationship.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My patients can expect to be partners in their medical care and to have their care individualized to fit their unique needs and lifestyle. I ask my patients to be engaged and active participants in their care.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, crafting, reading, and taking long walks.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose to specialize in diabetes management because I wanted to help people living with diabetes manage their chronic illness and prevent complications such as heart disease, strokes, and kidney disease related to poorly managed diabetes.
