What are you passionate about? I am passionate about my spirituality, my family, and being the best healthcare advocate for my patients.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be a: Research scientist - My curiosity would not let me do anything else.
Why did you become a provider? Growing up, I had some health challenges that caused me to visit the local health clinic quite often. I believe those experiences left quite an impression on me, and I wanted nothing more than to be in the medical field and contribute to care delivery.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: Engaging and educating people on the need and importance of preventive care.
My personal health goal is: To increase my weekly exercise time.
