I consider medicine as a calling to serve and work with people from all backgrounds on their health journey. Each patient encounter provides an opportunity to form a partnership and make a difference, no matter how little. This is part of why I chose Family Medicine and love it. Part of what I do also involves research with a focus on chronic disease management, health disparities and examining ways to improve health outcomes. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, reading, and learning something new.
