Why I Chose Healthcare

I have a background in Orthopedic nursing, so I love working with post-operative patients who had significant relief of their chronic pain so quickly after surgery. I chose a career in healthcare because I wanted a tangible way to help people, as I enjoy the opportunity to help patients get better and improve their lifestyle.

Personal

I enjoy being outside with my husband, Peter and we love playing with our boys, Wes & Jack. We enjoy hiking, traveling, and getting as much sunshine on our faces as possible. I joined the Christie Clinic team because of the exceptional take on patient care. Team members put patients first and truly listen to their needs.

The most rewarding piece of healthcare is helping patients reach their goals. Many patients in our office want to return to activities they love doing—whether it be exercising, returning to the basketball team, staying active, or even playing with their children or grandchildren. Helping people reach those goals is very rewarding.
