Medical School: Rocky Vista College of Osteopathic Medicine

Hobbies: In addition to my professional work, I enjoy caring for my three dogs, caring for my plants, learning about how they grow in their natural habitats, and spending time in nature, especially long hikes into the mountains. I also find solace in reading and designing holistic architectural spaces, but my great psychic escape is dancing!

 Philosophy of Care: I believe that everyone deserves access to quality health care, regardless of their background or ability to pay. During my first decade of life, I witnessed a tumultuous struggle as citizens fought for democracy against a militant despot. I saw bloodied students chanting for fundamental civil rights. Dr. King’s message rings clear, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman.” I am committed to providing compassionate, equitable care to all my patients. The doctor-patient relationship is a partnership, and I strive to build trust and understanding with my patients. I am also committed to lifelong learning and staying up to date on the latest medical advances.
