I chose this profession because of my love for people, my appreciation for meaningful relationships, and my passion for problem-solving. Dermatology allows me to bring all of these values together in my work. I want my patients to know how deeply I care about providing the highest quality of care, and my goal is for each patient to leave feeling truly heard and seen.
