Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I chose to pursue a career in medicine as it allows me to impact human lives in a unique way while helping patients in times of vulnerability and need. Medicine is a career driven by service as well as life-long learning, both of which have provided me with unparalleled job satisfaction.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I have a strong desire to bring positivity with me on my daily interactions with patients. I want my patients to know they can feel at ease with me and that we will work together as a team to find the answers that they are seeking.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

When I am not seeing patients, I spend most of my time with my family listening to music, enjoying delicious food, or playing games. I love spending time outside gardening, hiking, or riding my bike when the weather cooperates and prefer to travel whenever my schedule permits, especially to Penn State football games!
