I prioritize preventive care and promoting healthy lifestyles from an early age. I am grateful to have the opportunity for open communication with my patients and their parents to empower families to actively participate in their child's health care journey.Why I entered medicine

For over a decade, I've volunteered in underserved areas of my home country, providing essential medical care to families.
