I have always been drawn to the “why.” My undergraduate degree is in neurosciences and anthropology with a minor in linguistics, so I have always had a fascination with trying to understand people, relationships and disease pathology. These interests naturally led me to a career in medicine. I truly believe that Family Medicine doctors are the foundation to healthy communities by leading by example, providing education and fixing broken societal foundations. As a first-generation American and the first person in my family to go to medical school, I am very accustomed to explaining complex medical problems and pathology in a way that anyone can understand. I truly believe in treating my patients like family and meeting patients where they are in terms of their health, emotional state and resources available to them is important to me as well. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring new places, both locally and afar. Running, cycling and hiking are my preferred methods to cover these miles. My son, Jasper, was just born earlier this year so my time is currently spent going watching him grow and explore the world.
