Clinical Interests:

Throughout my residency, I have found great joy in outpatient medicine and the opportunity to develop lasting relationships with my patients. As mentioned, before medicine I pursued documentary filmmaking, and I have since found that the observational and communication skills honed during that time have been an asset in developing my own patient relationships as well as influencing my desire for patient continuity. I have come to appreciate the value of building trust and open communication with patients, as it enhances their overall experience and facilitates shared decision-making.
