Why did you become a healthcare provider?
I find it is one of the most profound honors to be invited by persons to join them on their healing journeys. Being a Behavioral Health Specialist allows me to feel this honor daily.
What attracted you to a community health center for your practice?
I love the diverse nature of individuals I’m allowed and honored to serve: from age 6 to 106 (or more!), I love working with anyone of any age and background.
What do you enjoy or find most fulfilling about caring for patients?
When patients report feelings of relief from pain, hope for the future, and joy (in general), I find this the most fulfilling. I love celebrating their progress with them.
Do you have hobbies or a way you like to spend your time away from work?
I am a Latin Ballroom Dancer, an avid adventurer with my dogs and cats (we LOVE walks), I have an audio book addiction, and I love painting.
Do you have a favorite book, movie or TV show?
Book: The Covenant of Water
Movie: Cloud Atlas
