I'm very passionate about making sure patients have all the information they need to make choices about their health and help them meet their health goals.

Areas Of Interest

Treating patients with Inflammatory bowel disease.

I love fiber (not the kind you eat), but yarn, wool, alpaca, angora. I often spend my time knitting, spinning (fiber into yarn), weaving. I find the fiber arts very relaxing. I have occasionally demonstrated spinning with my antique spinning wheel dressed in period attire. I also enjoy spending time with my family and pets.
