Overview

Philosophy of care | I strive to provide the best care for each child by combining an understanding of evidence-based medicine and considering the values of the patient and their family. I focus on maintaining open communication to drive shared decision-making that considers all aspects of the patient’s health. | Why I entered medicine | I believe medicine is the best pathway for me to make an impact in the lives of others, and I am inspired to help kids in need and their families every day. It is fascinating to monitor the growth and development process of children and extremely gratifying to help them recover from the most challenging circumstances. The reward of seeing them thrive again with such resilience, full of life and energy, and maintaining their health, fuels my passion for medicine. | Community involvement | I am passionate about giving back to the community as well as international medical missions to help children in need globally. | Personal interests | I enjoy hiking and outdoor activities, fitness, traveling and learning about new cultures, reading and cooking authentic Mediterranean food. Family is extremely important to me, and I love to connect and spend time with them.
