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

My earliest memory of wanting to become a healthcare provider started when I was 16 years old. I was working at CVS when an elderly man came in with cuts all over after a fall, and I helped him get cleaned up while waiting for the ambulance. The instinct to help him felt natural, and I knew I had to dive into the world of medicine to see where my journey would take me.
 

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

I love the dynamic environment of Urgent Care. There is also a strong sense of teamwork involved in working in Urgent Care, which is amazing. We all come together to help the patients.

How do you connect with your patients?

I try to understand their emotions and concerns by actively listening to what they have to say, recognizing their emotions, and validating their concerns.

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

I absolutely love to bake and cook. Anything from sweet treats to Sunday dinner meals.

What is your advice for your patients?

If you are not feeling well, make sure you give your body time to rest!
