Length of time at CHL:
Prior to joining the Center for Healthy Living in 2017, I worked in a variety of practice settings including community pharmacy, medication safety and a large academic healthcare system.

Why do you like working at the CHL?
I enjoy working with Purdue employees and dependents to help them live their healthiest lives.

Philosophy of care:
Every patient is unique, and I work with them to come up with the best possible health solution for them. We talk about options, they ask questions and we include the medical team at the Center for Healthy Living to plan their treatment. I feel strongly that patients should have as much information as they need to make an informed decision and work with them to help them better understand their own health.

What do you like to do when you’re not at the CHL?:
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors. I love running, cycling, hiking and boating on the lake.

Fun fact about me:
In 2018, I participated in the Pan Ohio Hope Ride, a 4-day, 328-mile bike ride from Cincinnati to Cleveland to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
