I have always had an interest in understanding how things work. Combining that with a never ending passion for and satisfaction that I get from serving, I realized that the field of medicine would provide me with daily opportunities to help those in need. I enjoy discovering more than just the medical condition of the patients I am treating. Finding out about a patient's family, their profession and their other hobbies or interests allows me to understand who my patients are as people which ultimately leads to better care.
