I realized I wanted to go into medicine because of the technical aspects of working with my hands and the personal interactions with patients. I realized early in medical school I wanted to go into surgery and wanted to specialize in orthopedics because of my interest in sports. I enjoy helping my patients getting back to living a healthy, active life. I want my patients to know that I will take the time to get to know them and understand what they are looking for and their needs.

I chose medicine early on due to personal health challenges, having experienced being a patient myself. God's calling led me to become a provider, aiming to give back the care, compassion, and dedication I received. My motivation stems from my relationship with God, strong family support, and encouragement from friends. Past experiences as a patient inspire me to help others facing fears and pain. The most fulfilling aspect of my practice is building relationships with patients and witnessing their progress, as they put in the effort, and I guide them through their healing journey.
