Medicine is a core part of who I am, inspiring a genuine passion for helping others and a deep respect for diverse cultures and experiences. I find joy in music, especially country and bluegrass, and I love the camaraderie of group biking. Spending time with children brings fresh perspective and pure joy, while moments outdoors—whether at parks or picnic tables with friends and family—offer balance and connection that enrich my path in medicine. I am filled with hope and purpose, seeking to bring encouragement and a focus on what truly matters to those I meet along the way
