Traveling: having visited five continents so far, I'm always looking for my next adventure, and I love that my fluency in French and Spanish lets me connect with people. I also love cooking, aiming to try at least one new recipe a month and keeping a handwritten recipe book of the favorites I've turned into healthier, wholesome versions of classic dishes. Obesity advocacy is close to my heart, too. I serve on the board of PAs in Obesity Medicine, volunteer with the Obesity Medicine Association's outreach team, and love speaking to patient and professional audiences alike. I can't wait for the day obesity care is a standard, affordable insurance benefit for everyone who needs it.
