She has been actively practicing as a Physician Associate since 2009 working in Emergency Medicine, ER Administration, and Orthopaedic Surgery. From early in her career she noted the limitations with the current healthcare structure for preventative care, perimenopause, menopause, and anti-aging. She has made it her mission to expand her knowledge of hormone replacement therapy and functional medicine techniques to be able to treat her patients-from head to toe. Thus allowing for a more thorough approach and effective care. Her mission and life focus is promoting healthy pro-active life-styles utilizing conventional and alternative medicine practices.
