I intend to practice full spectrum family medicine. I look forward to the versatility in serving all populations and age groups but have a special interest in maternal/child health and geriatrics. I believe health and wellness have several layers and I aim to create constructive and positive relationships with my patients so I may remain their health advocate throughout their lives. I am passionate about making healthcare equitable and available, healthcare reforms and policy implementation, financial stewardship in healthcare, and combating health disparities. I enjoy learning about social determinants of health and hope to gain more knowledge in this area to best serve my patients. I am a firm advocate of preventative care and hope to promote awareness via health education to my patients and community. My long-term professional goals include medical education in academic settings along with clinical practice.

I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my daughter and re-experiencing childhood through her lens. When I’m not working, you can expect me to be traveling to a new country and experiencing different cultures. I also love adrenaline-inducing sports/activities like skydiving and paragliding. My love for travel and adventure has allowed me to paraglide in the Swiss Alps, explore volcanoes in Bali and Hawaii, chase waterfalls and geothermal hot springs in Iceland, and jump from the Stratosphere building in Las Vegas. I also have a really cool and adorable talking parrot named Dirby who I hope becomes TikTok famous and helps me pay off my med school loans.
