What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I value the interpersonal relationship with my patients. I enjoy getting to know their values and the opportunity to work together to achieve their optimal health goals. 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? I believe the primary care provider manages the overall wellness of each patient. I put an emphasis on the relationship between mental and physical health and aim to help patients achieve both. I am passionate about the importance of overall health and hope to be a valuable resource for my patients. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time?
