She cherishes spending time with her family, friends, and fiancé and best friend since fourth grade. She enjoys the companionship of her beloved animals — Athena, Capone, Acorn, and Jax. Her caring nature extends from her patients to her home, where empathy, laughter, and love are always at the heart of everything she does.
