Hobbies, facts and interests
I love visiting new coffee spots, spending time with family and friends, travelling and getting to see new places – in fact my first month in Fresno I got to visit Shaver Lake and Yosemite since they were so close by

Why Fresno?
As a medical student I had clinical rotations in the Central Valley and instantly fell in love with the diverse population and cultures. Being at UCSF Fresno, not only are you working in a Level 1 Trauma Hospital, but you are also at the heart of California covering between San Francisco and Los Angeles . Thus, you see an array of disease pathologies while working with an underserved patient population, which I am really passionate about.

What are your research interests?
Preventive Medicine – especially focusing on improving screening in underserved patient populations
