Queens, NY and Plano, TX<\/p>\n
UNT Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine – 2023<\/p>\n
I am most passionate about women’s health, social medicine, and academic medicine. Outside of medicine, I love to spend time with my friends and family – cooking meals, hosting a game night, or planning a night out or weekend excursion.<\/p>\n
I was initially\u00a0drawn to medicine to help people in under-resourced communities get the quality, comprehensive medical care that every human deserves. Throughout my training, I’ve had the privilege\u00a0of learning from great physicians who practice compassionate, cost-effective medicine, meet patients where they are, and are willing to navigate a complex, often unfair system to help get them where\u00a0they want to be. Many of these physicians have been here at MHS. The Comanche County community reminds me a lot of the community I grew up in despite being so geographically different, and when I met the faculty, I knew they would help me grow into the physician I have always yearned to be. There is no place I’d rather be.<\/p>\n
