Hobbies: (“What I do for fun”)

My hobbies include hiking, biking, swimming, cross country skiing, exploring gardening, camping, and spending time with my family and both human and furry.

What attracted you to CVCH?

I was drawn to become a provider with CVCH initially due to the positive comments that members of the Chelan and Douglas County community have expressed about CVCH as an initiative-taking medical and behavioral health community service provider which includes outreach to more rural areas. This combined with CVCH’s mission to partner with community stakeholders to achieve optimal health and wellness with compassion and respect for all, secured my professional desire to be a part of this healthcare organization. I am honored to be part of this organization that is committed to empowering the community they serve and to have the opportunity to work alongside other exceptional healthcare providers.
