About me

One of the things I like best about pathology is the way we can use data-driven diagnostics to help people improve their health and quality of life. As a pathologist, I examine patient lab samples to provide accurate diagnostic information to our providers. Although my work is behind the scenes, I’m very aware of the personal impact my work plays in patient treatment plans.

I appreciate the blending of art and science in all I do. To me, every single glass slide is like a piece of art. Applying my skills and expertise to interpret each slide gives me a deeper understanding of our patients and their needs.
