What is your practice philosophy? I have a passion for helping patients become the best version of themselves. I practice a patient-centered approach to make each person look and feel their best. I believe plastic surgery can help transform a patient's lives.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? In 4th grade I underwent a tonsillectomy. During my meeting with my anesthesiologist, I was inspired by him to help people the way he helped me. He was kind, caring and explained what was going to happen to me during a time in my life when I was afraid in a way that I could understand.
My personal health goal is: To win another Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Championship
What is the best thing you’ve done for your health or the best health advice you’ve received? The best thing I have ever done for my health was practicing a plant based diet.
What are you most proud of? The greatest accomplishment of my life was becoming a mother.
What are a few of your personal achievements? Competing in powerlifting and bodybuilding shows, marathon races and brazilian jiu jitsu championships.
