Healing and comfort are a passion to me. As your doctor, I will treat you with compassion and respect. I consider these interpersonal traits as critical to the power of healing.

I always had a personal interest in science. I also really enjoy working with and understanding people. I chose medicine because it offered me the opportunity to integrate these interests.

Community involvement

Personal interests

I enjoy the beach, fishing, cooking and spending time with my family.
