“I chose gastroenterology because it is a procedure-intense specialty that requires manual dexterity and the ability to solve problems analytically.
“I am friendly, down-to-earth and have a great blend of cognitive skills and manual skills to provide the best possible care and outcomes for my patients. Because I consider my patients as my family, I make myself accessible and I make a personal commitment to each one. I hope to give them prompt, effective, compassionate care and relief from their discomfort.
“I am a mother of three and love spending time with my kids. Family time is very important to me.”
