About
Philosophy of care
I continuously seek to advance my knowledge and skill sets, understand people and their concerns and then apply my training and experiences to connect with and improve the lives of those around me in the most impactful way possible.
Why I entered medicine
Medicine provides the perfect avenue to help people while allowing me to pursue my interests in health care, science, the human body and problem-solving.
Community involvement
I am involved in charitable organizations involved in health and medicine, building communities for the less fortunate and in environmental pursuits. I have interests in community preventive medicine and international health care.
Personal interests
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, learning new skills, partaking in several sports and exercising. I like going to shows in a variety of genres and traveling to experience different viewpoints and ways of living around the world.
