Coming from an immigrant family, I was encouraged early on to pursue healthcare. As I watched my siblings go into medicine, I found myself drawn to it as well and quickly fell in love with the field.

I chose to work at Mountain Park Health Center because I wanted to serve the community I’ve been part of my entire life. I’ve seen the challenges and barriers people face here, and I’ve always known I wanted to stay and be part of the solution.

When you come in for a visit, you can expect to be heard and cared for in a way that feels personal. I focus on building genuine connections with my patients and making sure their care is managed thoughtfully and effectively.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in healthcare is that everyone’s story is different, and care should reflect that. I make it a priority to understand each person’s unique needs and tailor my approach accordingly.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and keeping up with my three dogs, two basset hounds and a Doberman Cane Corso mix, who definitely keep me busy.
