Respect, individual goal setting and empathy. Helping others get back to doing the things that are most important to them. Helping people overcome temporary obstacles that make it difficult to do the things that they love the most. And–being a patient advocate!

Why UCHealth?

I am proud to work at UCHealth. This team is amazing! I believe everyone that works at the hospital is here because they love what they do, they love the patient population that they see, and they are supported by the hospital to be leaders and experts in their individual areas. This translates to excellent patient care being a top priority in all clinics.

Mainly outpatient orthopedics. I have a particular interest in shoulders and knees, but love to see anything else orthopedic that comes through the door! I also have a true passion for being an advocate for promoting and teaching injury prevention strategies and promoting healthy lifestyles.
