What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider?
Healthcare these days is complex. Working as a healthcare provider in primary care allows me to connect with people and work together to navigate a path to a healthier life. I enjoy building rapport with my patients and seeing them have ownership and pride in their health.
In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs?
The goal of primary care is to serve the whole patient - caring for their ongoing physical and mental health conditions, managing any acute needs they may have, and keeping them up to date on their preventive health screenings and vaccines. Primary care serves as the patient's medical "hub," allowing them to have one place to express concerns and get answers when things get confusing.
Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I live in the Pittsburgh area and love spending time outdoors. When I'm not working I enjoy running, woodworking/rehabing furniture, and spending time with my husband and two little kids.
