Best part of my work: Every time I deliver a baby, I am amazed at what a miracle of new life I am privileged to welcome into the world. It is also rewarding when patients begin to feel better after implementing a plan that we have worked on together.

What I tell my friends and family: Try to be intentional about creating margins in your life.
