What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I knew that I wanted to go into health care from an early age. I feel most fulfilled when I am helping someone get better. I am not only passionate about health care but good health care. I believe in advocating for better access to healthcare and preventative health and empowering patients to be in control of their health. I strive to continually provide the best and the most compassionate care that I can. 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? As a primary care provider, my goal is to help my patient be the healthiest version of themselves possible. We work as a team to holistically treat their body and mind. I believe as a team, my patient and I can do more together versus the provider solely taking control. The role of a provider involves having empathy, excellent listening skills, and insight to provide the best care to a patient. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
