Being around children and animals has always brought me the most joy. The innocent spirit of a child, astounding resilience, and unlimited capacity for making life fun are what inspire me daily. I enjoy the intellectual challenge and constant learning in the field of medicine, but the joy of my job always comes back to the kids.

I chose to practice medicine at NOAH because I believe that the quality of care we provide should always be the top priority. The profession of medicine has become so intertwined with the business of making a profit, but I choose to work at a place that allows me to remain connected to those initial reasons I chose this field: helping others. High quality healthcare is a right and should be accessible to those from all backgrounds and walks of life. It is my privilege to be a part of making that ideal a reality.

I most enjoy spending time with my family and traveling. I love a good book and have always been extremely passionate about horses, though it’s been some time since I have been active with riding.

I would absolutely buy a home with some land and a barn, then proceed to fill it with horses. It is my dream to get back to riding regularly and share that passion with my growing family. That’s an expensive dream though, particularly in Phoenix.
