Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about being a heath care professional, because it is rewarding to help others with understanding their medical issues and needs. I love to work collaboratively with my patients to find the best treatment options for them. 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 role of a primary care provider is important. It’s the first provider a patient will usually see for all aspects of their physical and behavioral health needs. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to stay active with ocean swimming, cycling and hiking. Very often I will compete in triathlons. I also love visiting with family and friends.
