Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I was drawn to medicine because of a strong innate desire to positively impact people's lives. The ability to alleviate suffering and improve health is my motivation.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I approach each person with empathy and compassion. Listening to their concerns and treating them with kindness can have a significant positive impact on their experience.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I enjoy spending time outdoors with family and friends, whether hiking, picnicking, watching sports, simply taking a leisurely walk with my chocolate lab or gardening. Reading has also been an enjoyable pastime, but also a way to expand my knowledge and a source of relaxation.
