Philosophy of care | It is a privilege and a profound responsibility to be entrusted with the health and well-being of others. My goal is to listen carefully, treat holistically and advocate for every individual I care for – recognizing the human story behind every diagnosis. | Why I entered medicine | From an early age, I was deeply drawn to the idea of helping others, and medicine offered the most direct, meaningful way. This passion led me to pursue medical school and internal medicine training in Ethiopia, where I developed not only my clinical foundation, but also a deep sense of purpose in serving vulnerable populations. My experiences – from rural clerkships to international humanitarian missions with Doctors Without Borders – have reinforced my career choice. Each patient I meet reminds me why I entered medicine: to alleviate suffering, advocate for equity and offer compassionate, evidence-based care to those who need it most. | Personal interests | Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy on care is patient-centered at its core. I see my role as your physician to treat your medical condition but also to take into account other factors that play an important role in the delivery of health care. I hope to work together with you and my fellow team members to accomplish a desired goal and ultimately deliver exceptional medical care to you. | Why I entered medicine | My journey to a career in medicine was a bit roundabout. Initially, I started out with an interest in global health which led me to pursue a dual degree in public health and medicine. This was an attempt to better understand the global factors that play a role in the delivery of health care while studying the pathophysiology of disease. I chose oncology because I found myself drawn to the therapeutic potential of the field. I am excited by the ongoing advances and I look forward to offering these leading-edge treatments to my patients. | Community involvement | As a transplant from Washington, D.C., I look forward to becoming more engaged in local organizations as I start to get to know the area. | Personal interests | My husband and I enjoy hiking with our dog on the weekends and spending time with family and friends.
