Best part of my work: The personal connections made and deepened over time. 
Why I became a physician: Medicine is my calling. I feel I am doing what I am meant to do. 
Personal interests: Quilting, sewing, gardening, figure skating (I judge many local figure skating competitions). 
Additional info: I am certified to insert/remove Mirena, Implanon and Nexplanon.
