I grew up watching Marcus Welby, MD on TV, and I was inspired by the role model! Then, during high school, I got a job working as a tech in the operating room at Georgetown Hospital in D.C., and I was hooked. I believe in the partnership model of care with my patients, supporting shared decision-making and tailoring my approach to the individual person who entrusts me with their care. Outside of work, I love to cook, explore new cuisines, woodworking and carpentry.
