Why I chose to practice in Grand Rapids/Muskegon

I enjoy practicing in Muskegon for multiple reasons. First, I appreciate working in an environment that is so collaborative, especially across disciplines. We approach patient care as a team, each with something unique to offer. It's a good environment for teaching and learning. Additionally, I enjoy working with the patient population in Muskegon.

Hobbies, Personal Interests, etc.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children. We like to hike at various parks in the lakeshore area. I also volunteer with a local non-profit organization, and enjoy reading and ice skating.
