I grew up on an organic farm in Washington State, providing food for families in our community. Thinking about the health of families has been part of me since a young age and becoming a family medicine doctor seemed a natural outgrowth of that.
To me, the magic of family medicine is being able to care for an entire family, through all ages and stages of life. With my training in obstetrics, I can be the doctor for a woman before she gets pregnant, during her pregnancy, deliver the baby and then go on to care for both that mother and child in the years following. There are many situations where the health of the mother and child must be considered together, and I feel so lucky that I can be the doctor in those situations. It is a privilege and a joy!
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two girls, husband and dog. Since moving out to Maine from Washington State for residency, we have so enjoyed exploring the Northeast and look forward to continuing. Next on the list is Baxter State Park!
