What year did you join The Youth Clinic?

2017

What is one activity every child living in Northern Colorado should experience?

Every child in NOCO should have a chance to hike. Hikes can be easy like a quick, easy walk around the Poudre Learning Center to a more strenuous hike up at Lory State Park and beyond. We live in a beautiful State and getting outside and enjoying it is great for both our mental and physical health!

What is your favorite part about working with your patients?

My favorite part about working with patients is partnering with families to help navigate and face unique challenges. I love teaching and meeting patients where they are right now. Having a meaningful, established relationship with a provider they can trust is so helpful at each stage of development from newborns to adolescents.
