The accomplishment I am most proud of thus far in my career is spearheading a vaccine for children (VFC) program at my health center where one did not previously exist; we can now vaccinate uninsured and underinsured children, thus reducing morbidity and mortality from vaccine preventable illness.

What my practice looks like today
I see adult and pediatric patients 4 days a week in a faith based community health center. We have continued full time clinical care, incorporating both sick and well visits, even during the pandemic! I'm very grateful we have not discontinued any services that impact patient care during this unusual time, especially since we serve the most vulnerable populations in our community. In addition, I work with a school health alliance which provides onsite access to healthcare for students in the public school system. I also have the privilege of collaborating with six excellent advanced practice providers across these organizations. 

The accomplishment I am most proud of thus far in my career is 
Being a team lead within our health system allowing me to come along side the providers on my team and hear their concerns. I am a physician advocate for patients on a population health level and a champion for our systems ICD-10 conversion as well as ACO team. 

When I look back on my time at VCOM I think fondly about meeting and marrying my life partner and best friend Rob Snow, the lasting friendships—Katie Porterfield Collins and Ann Shaw Collins remain two of my best friends to this day—they were in my wedding, saw my babies in their first days of life, etc. Also the high quality clinical rotations which prepared me well for family medicine residency. I was rotating alongside UVA Med students at Carilion, Lewis Gale and the Salem VA so I could see that I was on par with them, which was important to me since we were a new school at that time. 

I am pleased to be a D.O. because I love my osteopathic family. It’s about the people.
