About
Philosophy of care
The opportunity to care for patients is a privilege. My goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care that is both evidence-based and individualized to fit each specific person's unique situation. I aim to treat patients in the same way I would treat my own family.
Why I entered medicine
I became interested in medicine as a hospital volunteer during my early teens, seeing doctor-patient relationships and being able to connect with patients during vulnerable times. Medicine allowed me to connect interests of both humanities and sciences. The opportunity to take care of patients in both preventative and therapeutic capacities is both challenging and satisfying.
Personal interests
I spend time with family and friends.
