About
Philosophy of care
I believe educating you about your medical diagnoses and conditions is an essential component of helping you heal. My goal is to provide you with excellent evidence-based compassionate care and treat you as if you are part of my own family.
Why I entered medicine
Deciding to pursue a medical career was a journey of discovery as I initially tried to stay away from the field. I was a school teacher for three years before I embarked into medicine. Ultimately, I learned that medicine combined the intriguing world of scientific discovery and the joy of teaching. It has allowed me to be a lifetime learner!
Community involvement
I am actively involved in the Society of Gynecologic Oncology and want to continue raising awareness of gynecologic cancers locally, regionally and nationally. I have been involved in raising money for the Women's Cancer Foundation and the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition by participating in their annual walks. I also support my local church and community.
Personal interests
I enjoy cooking, traveling, scuba diving, snowboarding and most of all, spending time with my family.
