I’m eager to contribute to this culture of growth and to work with patients to develop treatment plans that are tailored to their unique needs and goals.

What are you personally passionate about?

I’m passionate about staying active and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. I love cycling, running, climbing, skiing, mountain biking, and yoga, meditation—all of which help me stay energized and grounded. Traveling is another passion of mine, as it allows me to explore new cultures, cuisines, and experiences, which continually inspire my approach to health and wellness!
