Why I chose to practice in Grand Rapids/Muskegon
I enjoy practicing in Muskegon for multiple reasons. First, I appreciate working in an environment that is so collaborative, especially across disciplines. We approach patient care as a team, each with something unique to offer. It's a good environment for teaching and learning. Additionally, I enjoy working with the patient population in Muskegon.
Hobbies, Personal Interests, etc.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children. We like to hike at various parks in the lakeshore area. I also volunteer with a local non-profit organization, and enjoy reading and ice skating.

Why I chose to practice in Grand Rapids/Muskegon
Team practice is the only way to properly service our geriatric population. I love the opportunity to work with our home bound. We have to be innovative and creative in our techniques to honor their health wishes and needs. It gives me a chance to return to taking care of people right "where they are at".
Hobbies, Personal Interests, etc.
I am married and have two grown children who live out of state. I love to travel and especially places I can see while hiking and enjoying nature. I have been a runner since medical school and continue to find it a great way to relax and still keep active. Living on the lakeshore is such a great spot to enjoy these things!
