I choose Family Medicine because it offers lasting patient relationships and career flexibility. Rather than focusing on a single organ or age group, Family Medicine treats entire families across all stages of life, this will widen the scope of practice and makes each day of work exciting. I choose this community because of the opportunity to practice the full scope of medicine, diversity of the patient population and community connection it will provide during my training years and beyond.
My clinical interests are mainly Chronic disease management with prevention and Urgent Care. I like to play soccer and run in my free time. Also, I like staying up to date on news stories in the fields of politics, business and sports.

I chose Family Medicine because I love caring for people through every stage of life and building relationships that last. I enjoy getting to know my patients beyond a single visit and being someone they can trust through life's highs and lows. For me, Family Medicine is an opportunity to serve diverse communities, advocate for my patients, and make a difference that extends beyond the doctors office.
I chose El Dorado because It gives me the opportunity to care for a diverse patient population while continuing to pursue my passion for women's health. I wanted to train in a community where I could grow into a well-rounded Family Medicine physician, provide compassionate care across all stages of life, and make a meaningful impact both inside and outside the clinic.
My clinical interests include full-spectrum Family Medicine, women's health, high-risk obstetrics, preventive medicine, and lifestyle medicine. I enjoy caring for patients throughout every stage of life, from the womb and beyond, and building lasting relationships that help individuals and families thrive.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, exploring local coffee shops, staying active through pickleball or other racket sports like tennis, watching K-dramas, and spending quality time with my husband while discovering new restaurants.

I love Family Medicine because I value long-term relationships and the opportunity to care for the whole person over time. I want to help patients in the primary care clinic understand their health, solve chronic illness, and make decisions that give them back their freedom in daily life. Arkansas is home for me and my wife and daughter, and I feel called to serve rural and medically underserved communities in my home state. Arkansas has a ton of primary care needs, so I am excited to use my passions to improve access to primary care through practical technology, sustainable public policy and wise economic solutions.
I'm really passionate about using accessible technology, education, and non-pharmacological means to empower patients to address chronic illness and save them time and resources.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy watching Bluey with my daughter Genesis, taking nature hikes with my wife, coaching and playing basketball, growing fruit trees in my backyard, serving in my church community, and learning about health, nutrition, business, technology etc... I love learning and am always seeking to understand more about people and the world around me so I can serve more effectively.
