My parents, both physicians, deeply influenced my aspiration to become a doctor. Their dedication, passion, and fulfillment in their careers inspired me to make a difference in people's lives. As a specialist in hospital medicine, I focus on caring for adult patients during their hospitalization, ensuring a safe transition back home, and coordinating with their outpatient doctors for continued care.

As the patient safety officer, I am passionate about improving the health and lives of my patients and the hospital system. I utilize safety science to analyze and redesign technical and human workflows to enhance reliability and prevent errors.

One of my areas of expertise is the application of high-reliability principles and tools, a concept developed in industries such as commercial aviation and nuclear power, to achieve exceptional levels of safety. I use these principles to improve processes and build a culture of safety and effective teamwork. This involves reducing hierarchy and using standard language to highlight and address safety concerns.

As a part of NYU Langone team, I continually strive to innovate and improve our care systems. My goal is to enhance the patient experience, and consistently deliver the highest quality of care.
