About Me: I love helping people be happier, more at peace. It fascinates me that two people in the exact same circumstances can have totally different experiences – why is one happy and one unhappy? I enjoy trying to find how my patients can attain balance and health. I also love the technical side of medicine and spend a lot of time trying to make things work better here in the clinic. In my free time, I enjoy tennis, photography, and home improvement projects (which always take longer than I expect!)
Why I Enjoy Working in College Health: I love being on a college campus! I really enjoy helping people learn, and having interesting conversations with my patients about their classes, their dreams, their fears, and their accomplishments! It’s incredibly gratifying to assist someone through a difficult time and watch as they change and grow.
