What do you attribute your success to?
- My parents' unconditional support in my calling to be a doctor since the young age of 6 and growing up in an area of great disparity in medical care. My residency director, D.r Thomas Lane who taught me so much about primary care and treating patients as if they are family. Throughout my career, I made amazing friends in my colleagues and had a wonderful experience working in St. David's and Baylor Scott and White systems. They really supported me throughout my career and I felt appreciated even during the toughest of times during the pandemic.
Areas of research
- I am focusing on obtaining an MPH and being accessible to patients in need via telehealth. Especially our mental health patients who are stigmatized.
Philanthropic Initiatives
- Helping veterans and health care providers by giving back to those who give for us via Ready Cares.
