About
Philosophy of care
I believe in patient-centered, evidence-based care built on clear communication, shared decision-making, and close collaboration within a multidisciplinary team to ensure comprehensive support for every patient.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine to combine my interest in science with the opportunity to help people through some of their most difficult moments.
Community involvement
I am involved in medical education and mentorship with a focus on improving transitions of care across the health system.
Personal interests
Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, reading, running, and time with family and friends.
