Personal Statement
As an advanced practice provider, I believe that clinical practice is both an art and a science. Patients and families come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, and it is important to understand their beliefs and values when approaching their healthcare management. I seek to provide evidence-based care and work closely with the multi-disciplinary team. I strive to be my patient’s greatest advocate and work to empower families and patients with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to reach their goals.
