I always wanted to be in health care, and throughout my career, I found my niche in family medicine. I love the diversity the specialty offers, as it is not just about treating one condition, but working alongside patients during their lifespan to help them reach their health goals. I have the opportunity to form long-lasting relationships with my patients and treat them according to their values, beliefs, and individuality. I have a passion for educating and counseling patients on their health. By providing them with the most up-to-date, evidence-based medical recommendations, I can give them the tools to make decisions about their health and well-being.
