Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I believe everyone deserves compassionate, accessible, and high-quality care that fits into their real lives. As a Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care, I’m driven by building meaningful relationships, focusing on prevention, and empowering patients to take control of their health. My goal is to deliver modern, patient-centered care that prioritizes trust, education, and long-term wellness. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? The role of a primary care provider should serve as a trusted partner who addresses the whole person by integrating both physical and behavioral health to support overall well-being. This includes preventive care, early identification of mental health concerns, and coordination of treatment to ensure seamless, comprehensive support. By fostering open communication and continuity of care, the provider helps patients achieve lasting health outcomes across both body and mind. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love trying the newest restaurants out in NYC. I love to travel somewhere warm, with a beach (especially during winter time) and enjoy cooking for my family and friends.
