About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy centers on patient-centered, ethical and holistic care, with a commitment to lifelong learning and collaboration. Physician assistants play a vital role in the health care team, aligning with the method of treatment to provide the best possible care to patients.
Why I entered medicine
I have witnessed the impact of health care through the personal experiences of my loved ones and my own health challenges. The encounters inspired me to build on my innate interest in the sciences and pursue a career in health care.
Community involvement
I actively support the Salvation Army.
Personal interests
I enjoy travel and exploration: Exploring new places, cultures and cuisines. Exploring my creative outlet through cooking. Delving into tech-related discoveries.
