Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider.
Being a healthcare provider allows me to help people in need and support my community. Through my work, I can contribute to making a positive impact on the world.

In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs?
A primary care provider should be someone the patient trusts. We should understand the patient as a whole and always be attentive to signs of any health-related changes.

Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy outdoor activities, such as running and trail biking, and most importantly, spending time with my family.
