About me
Hi there! I want to personally welcome you as the most valuable member of my team. Here, we strive for growth so that we can also help others grow in various aspects, including the physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of our lives. Here, you decide and strive, and we provide and encourage.
Biography
The practice of medicine involves adjustment, empathy, hope, and community. In medicine, there is no "I" but only we and us. I am a person who looks at the positives and encourages members to build on the positives. That is how I went through medical school and empowered myself and others. Let's make it happen so that we can work together as one team.
About my practice
I come from a “Blue Zone” (Loma Linda) that serves as model of hope for good health in this part of the world. Here, community, service, and healthy food make all the difference the lives of people. Healthy home cooking recipes, stories about love and empathy and forgiveness, and serving people who can't serve themselves allow me to appreciate my life as a servant leader.
How I thrive
I love to walk 10,000 steps daily, enjoy reading the stories of love and sacrifices from the Bible, and believe in sharing smiles with people all around me. I also have a puppy who shares her joy with me. Sharing hope, joy, and peace is our responsibility, and I believe we must do everything in our powers to instill these values.
