Here’s what you won’t find on her resume.
“When I’m not working, I enjoy practicing yoga and taking care of my house plants — though to be honest, I tend to over-water them. You’ll also find me regularly on the hunt for the best dim sum in Orange County.”
“I would love to pet the Shetland ponies in Scotland and go ziplining through a rainforest. The chance to live down the street from my best friends is also high on my list.”
“My grandma has been my biggest role model. She survived World War II and the Communist Revolution in China and raised four children amidst socioeconomic upheaval. But through it all, she remained kind and hopeful. Her gentle strength is a force to be reckoned with, and I hope to emulate her tenacity and grace.”
“Integrity is priceless.”
“Growing up, I enjoyed most subjects in school — besides gym class — and earned good grades, but I was never passionate about any particular path. That changed during college when I volunteered at a homeless health clinic. It was the first time I encountered real human suffering, and I was confronted with each patient’s tremendous need to be seen, heard and comforted. The experience gave me a sense of purpose I hadn’t felt before.
I have carried the weight and privilege of that purpose throughout the many years of training and now into my practice. My 18-year-old self realized the best part of being a doctor is the ability to forge connections with patients, and I have done my best to always remember that.”
“The way that patients and their families place their trust in me is a privilege I do not take lightly. I am inspired by the fortitude and strength my patients exhibit daily.
I am also grateful to be surrounded by a team of people who care passionately about patients and work tirelessly to advance their welfare.”
“Practicing at an academic medical center allows access to the most cutting-edge advancements in medicine. Even more importantly, I appreciate the opportunity to work alongside and learn from specialists at the top of their respective fields.”
“Clinical trials hold the future of medicine, and I’m proud to be part of a medical center that offers trials in a vast array of areas. Giving our patients the opportunity to participate in these innovative studies, using treatments and techniques that aren’t yet widely accessible at other institutions, is an exciting part of the academic environment.”
“I see a commitment to excellence in every aspect of the care Keck Medicine offers, from the schedulers, the nurses, the phlebotomists and the providers. I am truly proud to work amongst people who are excited to offer their best to our patients.”
Telehealth appointments are available.
