Volunteering at the local hospital with my grandmother when I was a child first sparked my interest in becoming a doctor. By high school, I was volunteering in a variety of areas throughout the hospital and knew I wanted to continue working in healthcare. I chose family medicine because I love getting to know my patients, their families and building a long-lasting relationships.

As a primary care provider, I see patients of all ages and with a variety of health conditions. I work hard to gain my patients’ trust and try to make sure they feel heard and involved in their plan of care. I practice evidence-based medicine and have a strong belief in preventive healthcare. I hope to inspire patients to make healthy lifestyle changes and encourage them to take ownership of their health and wellness. I’m extremely thorough, responsive and detail-oriented.

When I’m not seeing patients, I enjoy spending time with my two young children, working out, and cheering for the Chicago Cubs with my husband.
