I value the opportunity to provide comprehensive healthcare, including preventive care, chronic disease management, and minor procedures. Being able to serve as a primary care physician and support patients throughout their lives is incredibly rewarding to me.

I also have a passion for cooking, eating, and experimenting with different cuisines. It provides me with a creative outlet and a way to distress.
