Why I teach at 40? After seven years of practicing in rural Ironwood, it became clear to me that my favorite time of the year was when I had a medical student rotating with me. When I was asked to join the faculty, it was an awesome opportunity to mentor physicians just beginning their careers. The best part of my job is watching someone go from a nervous intern to a confident, competent, and compassionate physician. The Marquette Family Medicine Residency is a family which makes it all that much better!
