Clinical Focus & Special Interests: As a physician, I have a particular interest in hospital medicine, as well as dermoscopy and dermatologic care in primary care, and experience with definitive management for localized skin cancers.
I also have 8 years experience in EMS as both a Basic EMT and Paramedic prior to medical school, and enjoy continuing to be involved in emergency care here at MRH.

Why I Chose MRH: I chose to come to MRH because it provides a unique opportunity for me to use multiple skill sets; including my knowledge of inpatient medicine, primary care, emergency medicine, skin care, and chronic wound management all within a single practice environment. I enjoy rural medical practice, and the opportunity to both capitalize on, and continue to expand, the breadth of my knowledge to more completely serve a community lacking in subspecialty care.
