About

Philosophy of care

My approach to care is built on respect, empathy and partnership; every patient deserves to be heard without stigma or judgment. Together, we make shared decisions that align with your values and goals – so you feel empowered, supported and truly seen on your journey to better health. My care meets you where you are and walks with you toward where you want to be.

Why I entered medicine

I chose medicine because I saw the impact my mother had on my community – her compassion, her strength and the way she uplifted others left a deep mark on me. I wanted to carry forward her message: support people with dignity, listen without judgment and help my community thrive.

Community involvement

I have supported people facing addiction and helped organize fall prevention events for older adults.

Personal interests

I recharge with kickboxing, summer hikes and a strong cup of black coffee to start my day. These simple joys keep me energized and grounded so I can bring my best to every patient.
