I became a doctor because: my father was a physician and my mother was a dentist, so from a very early age, I grew up knowing that medicine would be the most fulfilling career for me.
If I wasn't a doctor, I would be a: chef. In the words of Michael Pollan: "Is there any practice less selfish and any labor less alienated then preparing something delicious and nourishing for people you love?"
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: seeing my patients achieve balance and improved quality of life when living with chronic diseases and on multiple medications. There is nothing like seeing the power of good medical care in the eyes of my patients.
My personal health goal is: to maintain balance between my work and my free time. Also, to maintain a good regiment of fitness and healthy nutrition.
My favorite destination to travel to is: Italy. I have traveled extensively and I love Italy - the lessons of history and the ageless beauty of ancient cultures.
I am most proud of: raising two incredible daughters with my husband.
