Clinical Interests
I am interested in treating the full breadth of the primary care scope of practice, but in particular I have special interests in Asthma, Type 2 Diabetes, Preventative Health, LGBTQ+ health, and behavioral health.

Care Philosophy
I believe in the importance of building a provider-patient partnership in which patients are able to express their health goals and expectations openly to me and, in return, I can use my medical expertise to help them achieve those goals.

Personal Interests
I enjoy skiing, golfing, traveling, swimming, and spending time with my family.

Volunteer Activities
Lecturing in local high schools, participating in health fairs, reviewing admissions applications at University of Colorado PA school, provide peer review for the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants.
