‍

Who or what inspired you to become a physician?‍

During my graduate studies in molecular biology, I was spurred to volunteer with a suicide prevention hotline after a family member faced a mental health crisis. These experiences led me to choose a career in medicine where I could apply my abiding interest in science and biology to improve the lives of others.

‍

What led you to become involved in El Paso County Medical Society?

I became involved with El Paso County Medical Society to become more connected with clinicians in the community who are striving to improve care for our shared patients.

‍

What advice would you give to physicians-in-training who are just starting their careers?

Cultivate many mentors! Mentors have different strengths and aptitudes, and you will find that nurturing those relationships will provide a variety of benefits as your own career grows and evolves.

‍

What do you enjoy doing outside of medicine?‍

I enjoy hiking, skiing, travel, cooking, and spending time with my family.
