What are your professional interests within Medicine?
I am deeply committed to preventative medicine and holistic wellness. I have a particular heart for working with neurodivergent populations, specifically among the pediatric population navigating life with ADHD and Autism. I am passionate about exploring how nutritional intervention can be integrated with traditional approaches to improve long term outcomes and quality of life for my patients. Additionally, I have a strong inclination towards sports medicine and pain medicine as I believe staying active and mobile is a cornerstone of overall health.
What are your interests or hobbies outside of Medicine?
Outside the hospital you will often find me playing badminton or tennis with my husband or playing board games or video games with friends and family. I am a movie and TV enthusiast- I love everything about it from the story to the cinematography.
What are you most excited about for life in Tucson?
I am excited to explore the hiking trails, parks and mountains. I am really looking forward to the beautiful desert sunsets Tucson is known for. Additionally, as someone who loves trying new flavors I can’t wait to dive into Tucson’s food scene and try some authentic mexican cuisine- I am ready to find my new favorite spot.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
My ideal day off is centered around recharging at home by building LEGO sets to unwind from a busy week at the hospital and I would usually pair that with my favorite TV series or movie night.
