Serving the community and helping others grow in meaningful ways is important to me. It takes bravery for a person to take the step toward making changes in his or her life and I feel honored I get to walk with people through that process.

The integrated approach to health care enables us to serve clients in a holistic way and meet the needs of the community. I am inspired by working with this compassionate and caring group of people.

I enjoy spending time with my husband, two children, and dog. I also like cooking, reading, and spending time outdoors.

I would visit the one continent and many countries I have never seen. I want to learn more about other cultures through emersion in the cuisine and routines of daily life. I would start an organization to promote interfaith dialogue through positive and cooperative interaction, tolerance, and understanding.
