"Outside of work, my passion is my family. Together, we love to travel and participate in many outdoor activities. When I'm able to be refreshed with my family, I come in to work with a clear mind and can be the best that I can be."

"My choice to pursue a career in Psychiatry was due to my internal nature to want to help people in need. With my children now grown and out of the house, my husband and I have recharged our passion for helping at the homeless shelters around the city, and we find great joy in doing so."
