Ever since I can remember I’ve enjoyed helping people. As a child I thought I was going to be a fashion designer, but I realized I wanted to make a difference in a different way. It started with me being really interested in social work. I wanted to help and serve underserved communities and Native American communities because of how I grew up and certain socio-economic disadvantages I experienced. I found that it all starts with working under mental health.

During visits I like to listen closely to patients. I like to make them feel heard and help with any dilemma they may have. Not only do I want to listen, but I want to make sure my patients leave our visit with solutions and to give them hope to address their issues.

I came to Mountain Park because I wanted to get back to serving the community, and with all of the great things that Mountain Park does for the community, it just seemed like the perfect fit. One of the most important things I’ve learned while working in healthcare is that I’m here to empower and provide tools and resources for my patients to address any issues they may have.
