Why I Work at ICHS:
I work at ICHS because of its commitment to serving people that would otherwise have little access to health care. I also chose this organization because the staff is passionate about their work and is committed to giving our patients high-quality care.
Patient Care Philosophy:
As a provider I seek to collaborate with patients to optimize their health so that they can work, care for their loved ones, and lead meaningful lives. I believe that health is multidimensional and not just physical, and I strongly value preventive medicine in order to avoid or minimize future disease.
Interesting Note About Myself:
I’m originally from Atlanta, Georgia, but after college I left the muggy South for the beautiful and more temperate Pacific Northwest. I love to travel, hike, play board games, sing karaoke, and rock climb. I love seeing patients across the lifespan, and I have a soft spot in my heart for LGBTQ health and palliative and end-of-life care.
