I have been training in martial arts since 2000. Through my first instructor I was first introduced to Chinese medicine while sustaining an injury during training. Impressed by my quick recovery I began to shadow him at his clinic and enrolled in graduate school a few years later.
I have been practicing acupuncture since 2006. In addition to working at PGIHH I also volunteer through the Global Alternative Health Project (GAHP), providing Chinese medicine both domestically and internationally.
I have really enjoyed my time studying this medicine and have continued to appreciate all of the people and patients I have met through practicing Chinese medicine. I believe the ultimate goal of medicine is to assist people on their path to help them live their best life.
