When did you know you wanted to be a physician? I knew at the age of 17.

What is a favorite memory from your medical training? I have a three-way tie for my favorite memory during this time! Being present for the birth of each of our three children—one at the end of medical school, one during residency, and one during fellowship.

What do you like most about practicing medicine? Helping others.

What is your most memorable patient story? There was one patient during my residency who came in with a severe injury during an overnight shift. My team and I were able to get his pain under control and fix his problem. The next morning on rounds, his family was at his bedside. They were so grateful and kind. They gave me two mangos as their way of saying thank you. I will always remember that particular case.

What attracted you to work at Schneck Medical Center? Hands down it is the people. Everywhere we went in the hospital and in Seymour and the Jackson County area, we were greeted by caring, engaged, and friendly people.
