I always loved talking to people and doing the best that I could to help them. And that very easily led me into the medical field because it is such an act of service. Starting into medical school I knew that I liked working with kids. Starting my third year of medical school, I actually came to Springfield for rotations. We spent a lot of time at Mercy with different specialties. I was able to work also while I was here with a family practice doctor that did OB. I learned how great that could be. I fell in love with the prenatal care aspect of it. I learned that I could do prenatal care with moms, and I could take care of their babies. I hope patients feel like they can approach me if there's any concerns. I plan to be as available as I can. And that's something that I really liked in my training, having the ability to talk directly to patients and be available by phone for any concerns that might arise.
