What is your greatest accomplishment?
Finding a profession I am passionate about and doing everything it took to reach that goal, regardless of the sacrifices I had to make to get where I am. It was all well worth it!
What drives you every day?
I love watching my patients blossom into incredible people, and seeing the smile on their face when they see the progress they have made. You can’t beat that.
Do you have any nicknames?
Oh this is endless, and quite embarrassing. Lizard, Presh, Lizey, Lizardo, Lye, Tat, Tathead, Beebs, Bunny. I have some really weird friends.
What traits in others are you attracted to?
Humor, loyalty, dedication. And I’m really drawn to people who genuinely smile a lot.
If you could be any animal which would you prefer to be and why?
I would be a puppy - so I could lay in a pile of puppies.
