What area of the healthcare field interests you most?
I have worked in primary care, emergency department, urology, walk-in-clinic, diabetic foot care and population health. After graduation, I worked in a hospital-owned clinic, which involved hospital admissions and doing hospital rounds and nursing home rounds with the physician. It was satisfying and interesting to see the progress the patients made.

What do you enjoy most about your job with AHG’s Population Health Department?
I enjoy the interaction with members, especially during the home visits. Each member has different stories, outlooks on life, struggles and inspirations that make me think and even help me prepare for my upcoming “golden years.”

What are some personal details about yourself you’d like to include?
I enjoy gardening, fishing, going to the movies and spending time with the family. I also volunteer with St. Vincent de Paul preparing meals for community members once a month.
