“As a young clinician, I loved meeting with families and helping them to be their best. I enjoyed getting to know people and working with them to find solutions to their challenges. Over time, I have been able to translate that passion into work with our staff. I love getting to spend one-on-one time with our staff and helping to create meaningful solutions. I’m passionate about learning new practice techniques and being able to share them with our staff in a way that meets their needs and grows their knowledge base. I enjoy helping our staff to find efficient and creative ways to become their best selves.” – Erin Keltner
