Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about empowering patients to improve their overall health and wellbeing with the knowledge of medicine. I enjoy educating patients and making a positive impact in their daily life. 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? A primary care provider's role is to be a support for the patient, providing medical advice and being available for whatever that patient needs. The PCP has a close relationship to their patients and keeps them accountable with screenings and other preventative care in order to maintain a healthy life. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy baking and cooking for others in my spare time. I am also learning how to garden which has become a new hobby. I am adventurous and love to explore new places around the United States as well as travel around the world. I am fascinated by different cultures and customs.
