When I was young, my father was an EMT (emergency medical technician). Watching him drive an ambulance to help people in crisis sparked my interest in healthcare. Hematology became a personal passion of mine once I came to understand the impact a blood condition had on our family. Before I ever had the privilege of meeting my grandmother, multiple myeloma claimed her life. Since then, treatments have come a long way, and it’s a joy to be part of such a dynamic field of medicine. Today, thanks to many scientific advancements, we can offer more hope to more people. As a physician assistant, I do my best to help patients feel comfortable, treating them with warmth and respect. My work allows me to care for the critically ill and cultivate meaningful relationships along the way.
