What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

I have always been interested in joining the healthcare field. My cousin, a Physician Assistant, recommended that I look into the profession because she thought it might be a great fit for me. After shadowing her for many months, I realized that it was a great profession for me. It allows me to have balance in my life, which I truly value.  

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

What I love most about this specialty is the opportunity to treat a wide variety of issues, focusing on ear, nose, and throat, in all ages from newborns to geriatircs.

How do you connect with your patients?

I try to connect with my patients by empathizing with their situtation. Trying to find that common ground helps strengthen the patient-provider experience and helps build that trust and confidence in their medical care.

What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?

I love to travel. Traveling is a beautiful way to learn about other cultures, traditions, and lifestyles other than your own. I am always looking for places to travel to add to my list.

What is your advice for your patients?

It is really important to keep a balance in life: eat well, exercise, and spend some quality time on yourself.
