For her, it was uniquely significant to have cared for the body, mind, and spirit, for patients in Armed Forces who have served our country. She truly believes that understanding the human body is equally important to understand the human heart and spirit, thus she pays close attention to the small details to ensure patients feel heard. Patient satisfaction is of the utmost importance to her. On a personal note, when not with her patients, she enjoys taking walks, reading, and spending quality time with her family.
