General Info

About me

I always was interested in medicine and engineering. I decided to study medicine because I realized I have many qualities that relate to serving people. I enjoy being around people, helping people, and seeing their satisfaction as I work for them. What I love the most about being an Internist is helping people because although there may not always be a quick cure, we can always find a way to improve my patient’s quality of life.
