Additional Information
An extensive background in volunteer work during adolescence provided a strong sense of compassion and dimension to my world view. This experience translated into a desire for a career in health management. Holistic medicine became a passion after several years work experience in retail pharmacy. My personal philosophy toward primary care combines physical, mental, emotional, and internal medicine in order to provide complete and systemic wellness.
