Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My passion for medicine stems from the ability to be a source of comfort, compassion and care to people who are in need. This has developed through the years and is growing more over time! 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? A PCP is someone who is able to offer answers and guide patients during their time of need. Occasionally, patients are anxious or overwhelmed and just need some one to help them work through their health problems. That’s where the PCP comes in! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to cook, exercise and spend time with my fiancé. we enjoy travel, music, basketball and going to other sports events!
