My grandmother was diagnosed with leukemia when I was 16 and I wanted to help her recover, or at least minimize her discomfort. I started volunteering at the hospital where she stayed, and was motivated to pursue medical school. As a physician, I am here to advocate for my patients and ensure their well-being. I listen to patients’ concerns and offer suggestions and an honest opinion, as well as provide compassionate care and support. In my free time, I love to stay active outdoors, including running, biking, hiking and kayaking. Yoga is immensely invigorating for me, too. I enjoy traveling and sightseeing.
