“I really enjoy coming to work with Dr. Chen and our team and I’ve been doing it everyday since 2006. Each day provides new and exciting opportunities whether I’m learning a new technique or meeting a new patient for the first time.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my 2 wonderful boys. I love the outdoors doing hiking and quad riding.”
