My Story

 I created this website as part of my mission to give back to other providers who may be where I once was and are needing some guidance, are needing a mentor. The other part of my mission is to give back to my patients and other patients who may never meet me in person but could use my knowledge, guidance and expertise. I have always wanted to be an author. I wrote little composition book stories as a child. I would staple them and share them with my friends and family.

I am moving into this next phase of my career. To that regard, I have 2 upcoming books, one for physicians and providers and the other for patients. I will also be creating other educational products such as courses and digital guides and will make myself available for coaching sessions.

I am now at the peak of my career and as always, I am still curious, still learning and growing. Feel free to explore the website and take action towards your goals. Connect with me through our contact link.
