I’ve always wanted to work with people and have meaningful connections. I chose healthcare because I wanted to help patients with their health and goals, but not in a primary provider role.  What I love about Mountain Park is the ability to see any patient who needs nutrition services without a referral. It allows me to spend more time with them and address their concerns directly.

I’ve learned that understanding each patient’s unique needs is just as important as medical knowledge.

In consultations, I listen to my patients, keep things lighthearted, and make sure they feel heard and supported.  I value diversity because it brings different perspectives, leading to more well-rounded care. Mountain Park’s wrap-around services drew me in, and I’m proud to be part of a team that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
