I became a physician because I love learning and will have the privilege to learn from my patients' stories and scientific advancements my entire career. My patient care philosophy is caring for each patient by learning their story and unique social context so that I can provide empathetic, evidence-based, treatment and preventative care that meets them where they are and allows them to live to their fullest potential. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, and exploring through hiking, swimming, and eating good food.
