My patients at Sanitas get the best care. I treat them like family––by listening and showing respect. It’s a good day at work when I have positive interactions with my patients, am able to help them with their needs and they leave feeling pleased with their care. I was born on a U.S. Air Force base in Tokyo, Japan. When I was three, my father was transferred back to the United States to continue active-duty so I grew up in different states, from the northeast to the southeast. I moved to Tennessee when I was a teenager and Murfreesboro is now my home town. I witnessed how my father, a doctor, helped the community and saw the impact he had on people. He was a great role model and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. When I’m not working, I like to play basketball, soccer and tennis. I also like to jog, swim and spend time with my family.
