My specialties:

Professional interests:
- Women's Health
- Pediatrics
- Chronic conditions
- Sports Medicine

- Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
I am a board-certified family medicine provider with professional interests in chronic conditions, osteopathic manipulative medicine, pediatrics, preventive care, sports medicine and women's health.
I am passionate about: spending time with family, friends, traveling, playing sports, salsa dancing and experiencing nature. These are the things that energize me.
I became a provider because: I have always enjoyed working with people, science, and helping communities. Family medicine is a lovely mix of those, which in turn allows me to serve a community.
Something I have learned from my patients is: to listen first. Always learn what is most important to them in regards to their health.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: talking with patients about preventive medicine and empowering them to readjust their lifestyle and improve their health.
I am most proud of: participating in two medical service trips to Honduras, and working with underserved communities in Milwaukee.
