Passionate About:

I am extremely passionate about providing quality care for minority populations by creating trusting relationships and systemic practices amongst patients and providers. Medicine is supposed to be patient-centered, and I plan on making this a reality for those who have lost faith in our system. This drive is brought on by firsthand experiences with my family members which taught me how important language and cultural competence is within the medical field. These experiences reinforced my own belief that medical professionals must tailor healthcare practices to the population being served, taking social, cultural and linguistic needs of patients into consideration. As a future Physician Assistant, I want to be a part of the system and help to enforce such practices.
