Passionate About:

I enjoy engaging in dialogue with people from different walks of life. To familiarize myself of what is going on in my community and the world at large allows me to better understand my world and my place in it. To practice medicine is my ultimate goal. I have a passion for working with people in underserved communities and with individuals with learning and developmental disabilities. It's not so much 'treating' these populations as it is the desire to teach and educate them to be able to live healthy lives and keep the cycle going! :)
