Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally because of a missing or dysfunctional clotting protein. Clotting proteins, also called clotting factors, work with other blood components such as platelets, von Willebrand factor, and other proteins to form a blood clot. When any of these components is absent or low, increased bleeding can result. If clotting factor VIII (8) or factor IX (9) are affected, this bleeding disorder is called hemophilia.

I chose the field of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) to fulfill my passion for helping people. I help patients of all ages and with varying degrees of medical complexities. I also enjoy balancing clinic engagements and assisting in the operating room. Treating a patient's symptoms while building a trusting relationship is my goal. I strive to establish a connection with my patients, working to provide solutions and plans that align with their comfort and well-being. I have an attentive approach, and I'm known for actively listening. I take the time to understand a patient's medical history while demonstrating genuine empathy. I believe these qualities contribute to a positive patient experience and reinforce the importance of patient-centered care. Outside of work, I find joy in the outdoors, have a passion for baking, and cherish moments spent with my family.
