I chose to become a social worker and clinician to help others and make a positive difference in people’s lives. I aim to advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves and am feel strongly about promoting social justice, importance of human relationships and the dignity and worth of a person. My philosophy of patient care is to make sure I am giving each patient quality services that are specific to their individual needs, and also to treat every patient with dignity and respect while providing safe and ethical care. When I am not at work, I like to hike, travel and spend time with my family.
