• Why did you go into medicine? My interest in biology, teaching, and developing long-standing and meaningful relationships with people made medicine the right fit for me.
• What do you bring to UCR Health? I am dual-boarded in Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine. I commonly use nutrition, judicious use of herbals and supplements, exercise, and mind-body practices alongside traditional medical therapy. I believe integrative medicine empowers patients by giving them tools to support their bodies' inherent ability for wellness. I am excited to use these techniques with patients interested in exploring them.
• Outside of medicine, what do you enjoy doing? Spending time with my husband and sons, cooking, and spending as much time as we can enjoying the great outside weather here in Southern California.
