The diversity and complexity of cases I encounter daily fuel my passion for medicine and enrich my professional life.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient education and involving patients in their own care. I believe in fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring they feel heard and supported. My work in emergency medicine has allowed me to develop a keen ability to manage a variety of medical emergencies, from trauma to cardiac events. The opportunity to work at NYU Langone, alongside a team of dedicated professionals, allows me to provide comprehensive and coordinated care to my patients, ensuring they receive the best possible outcomes.
