Why did you choose to become a physician?

I am a people person. I love being able to meet and learn about others' lives. I also love the diversity and mystery of medicine. I feel very blessed to be doing what I love.

Why did you choose St. Joseph?

I grew up in Liberty, MO so I knew the area well. This gives me the opportunity to work in a community of people that feels like home. 

Why did you choose Mosaic Life Care?

The more I learned about Mosaic Life Care, the more intrigued I became. I like the team atmosphere and treating the person not just their disease.
