I chose a career in medicine because I want to help people feel better when they are sick and help them stay healthy. I strive to provide the best medical care I can as a family physician. I want to help my patients live healthier lives, help their physical healing during times of sickness, and provide emotional support during times of distress. I like to spend time with family, hike in the canyons and walk on the beach. I also enjoy swimming and running.
