How I fell in love with dermatology:

As a medical student, I quickly became captivated by the breadth of dermatologic skin conditions. In particular, I found that dermatology provides a fascinating interplay between a wide range of specialties such as immunology, rheumatology, infectious disease and surgery. Every day my interest in the field and its advancements continues to grow. Most importantly, caring for and creating meaningful, long-lasting relationships with my patients has been an incredibly rewarding experience that I look forward to nurturing for many years to come.
