In her own words:
"I believe that medicine is circular as opposed to linear and that wellness is all encompassing. This not only includes the body, but the mind and spirit. I constantly remind patients and families the value of exercise, eating healthy, and finding like minded individuals to inspire and support them. Every day I find inspiration from the patients and families that I encounter. It reminds me that every day is a gift and to live life to the fullest."
