Traveling is one of my passions. I love to see and experience other cultures. In 2022 alone, I had the opportunity to have traveled to five countries. I took six weeks and did a Pilgrimage, known as The Camino de Santiago, where I (with my Dad) walked 500+ miles across Northern Spain. I had a lot of time for self reflection as well as the chance to talk with people from all walks of life, and all around the world, about what they would like from their medical providers. Not only did I “walk” away with the experience and friendships of a lifetime, but I had a better understanding of what I wanted to do with my life and career.
As the adventures continue, my ability to show up for my clients and patients improves. I learn more about myself and more about what is needed on this journey.
