Hobbies, fun facts and interests
I enjoy playing sports when I can, getting outdoors, lifting, running, watching foosball (go Niners), and chilling with family, friends, and animals.
Having taken a non-conventional path to medicine, I am also passionate about fostering the next generation of medical professionals in the San Joaquin Valley.

Why Fresno?
I was born and raised in Reedley, Fresno County, surrounded by family and friends. My introduction to the world of medicine began at CRMC in 2016, where I worked as a college student scribing in the ER; it was there that I realized my passion for medicine and decided to pursue a career as an ER physician. Eight years later, I'm fortunate to be right where I wanted to be.

The Valley faces severe socioeconomic and health challenges, including one of the worst physician and medical professional shortages in California. CRMC's ER is consistently among the top five busiest in the state, serving as a crucial safety net for the community. It is a privilege to stay in the Valley and contribute to addressing these critical needs.
