Inspired by my mom, a nurse, I chose a career in nursing to positively impact people’s lives. At a young age, I was captivated by the interplay between organs and systems of the human body, and fascinated by the complexities of health and diseases. This interest, coupled with a strong sense of empathy and compassion, led me to pursue a career in medicine. I believe in a holistic approach that provides patient-focused care for the whole individual, taking into account their physical, mental, and emotional health.
