Personal Statement

I was drawn to a career in medicine for the way it combines science with meaningful human connection. Primary care, in particular, emphasizes the aspects I value most—primary prevention of disease and longitudinal relationships with patients. Above all else, I strive to ensure that patients feel comfortable, heard, and empowered. 

My professional interests include HIV medicine, HIV/STI prevention, LGBTQ+ medicine, travel medicine/global health, and culturally competent healthcare.
