Overview
I chose medicine because I value the relationships it builds and the problem solving it demand, especially in Infectious diseases. I enjoy helping patients and families make sense of complex infections, working closely with them to ensure clear communication, sound treatment decisions, and compassionate care. I’m particularly passionate about antimicrobial stewardship and take pride in promoting thoughtful antibiotic use across the hospital. Teaching is also a key part of my work. I love mentoring trainees and making ID more accessible and practical. My goal is always to meet patients where they are and guide them with both evidence and empathy.
