Biography

As a primary care physician, I love what I do. This quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience,' best describes how I keep pushing through hard times because I strive to be my best every day.

I enjoy developing a long-lasting doctor-patient relationship with each of my patients. Throughout their medical journey, I lend a listening ear, help them manage complex medical care and give helpful advice.

At Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, I’m lead physician for the Ohio State Transition of Care COVID-19 Clinic as well as an assistant professor for the Division of Internal Medicine. Apart from patient care, I spend much time teaching medical students and residents because passing knowledge on to future generations is an important aspect of working in an academic medical center.

In my spare time, I love reading, traveling and exploring various parts of the world, cooking new cuisine and spending time with my lovely family.
