"The experience of serving in the military has provided me with a deeper appreciation for life, a stronger desire to help others, the flexibility of thinking outside the box, and has shown me the importance of patience and humility, all of which helped me through medical school and now in practice.

Resiliency, flexibility, and adaptability are some qualities from the military that have made me a stronger naturopathic doctor."
