Why I am passionate about GME leadership:

Training the next generation of family physicians to practice patient-centered care with compassion and meeting each patient where they are regardless of circumstances is what drives me.

What I’m passionate about in my personal life:

I have a hard time sitting still, so I move from one hobby to another and currently it is baking. I love being outdoors with my family, whether it is on the water or at the barn with horses or playing with my dogs.
