I enjoy building relationships with my patients and families to promote their wellness and well-being. I value listening, and I strive to help patients gain greater understanding about their health and health choices. It is an absolute joy and honor to build relationships with patients.

I believe health care is a right. It is a privilege to work as a nurse practitioner caring for members of our community and supporting Seattle Root’s mission of compassion, trust and respect for the dignity of our patients, staff, and community. Patients have taught me about the diversity of human experience, the value of the profession I have chosen, and the dignity that patients feel when they are not judged by the medical profession.

Many issues do not need to be solved immediately. It is more important to take one step towards a goal and succeed than to attempt to change multiple things and fail. I have had cancer twice and consider myself fortunate to have had access to timely care! Fortunate that I survived and was able to pursue my dream of medicine; find a home at Seattle Roots; and honored I get to be a part of peoples’ lives in a very personal way.
