How I fell in love with my specialty: Family medicine encompasses all the areas of medicine I enjoyed during my medical school rotations. I love getting to know my patients across all phases of life and value the opportunity to take care of entire families. I truly enjoy the day-to-day variety; no two days are the same, which keeps every day interesting and allows for constant learning.   

Three things people may not know about me:

  • I enjoy traveling and baking.
  • I consider myself a self-care connoisseur.
  • I went on a medical mission trip to Peru.
