Philosophy of care I enjoy getting to know you as my patient. It is a great privilege to be considered your confidante and provider of compassionate care. I see my role as an educated health advisor who provides you with facts about your health, after which we come up with a plan for you to live the life you envision for yourself. Why I entered medicine In high school, I had an inspiring chemistry teacher who made learning science and experimentation challenging yet rewarding. I fell in love with the life sciences during this time! I also knew I wanted to help people in a way that incorporated my passion for science and love of people, while allowing me to serve in a leadership capacity. These interests led me to the field of medicine. Community involvement I enjoy teaching and giving back to my community and look forward to being involved in volunteering at Lehigh University. Personal interests My interests include hiking and outdoor nature, exploring new places such as parks and cities. I also enjoy learning new things and visiting museums. I am into watching professional basketball and gardening. In my spare time, I can often be found spending quality time with family and friends.
