What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about using science and data to guide healthcare. In my pursuit of that passion I strive to connect patients with the science and data in an understandable way. In my experience this improves patient satisfaction, compliance, and health.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? An engineer.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I realized in clinical rotations that I was passionate about primary care.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Each person has their own needs, expectations and priorities.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I enjoy guiding a patient through the history of an illness or complaint and creating a "story". This story provides me the data needed to generate a plan and provides the patient validation.
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Incorporate exercise into my daily routine.
What are you most proud of? My kids.
