What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about my work is that it never feels like “work” to me. Since 2008, I have had the privilege of doing what I love every day: working with people, helping them navigate challenges, and supporting them in achieving success. I find great fulfillment in helping clients identify the obstacles that make life difficult for them and guiding them to find solutions that work for themselves. That sense of purpose and passion is what drives me.
