She believes that caring for the patient is not exclusively diagnosing and treating, but also education. Her goal is to provide the patient with the knowledge that they will need so that they understand the disease process, working together to improve their quality of life. This includes a holistic approach, as the physical aspect of a patient’s illness is not just considered, but also the emotional and spiritual components. In her spare time she enjoys working out at the gym, gardening, riding horses, hiking, snowboarding, traveling and reading. Many of these hobbies are enjoyed together with her family.
