Outside of medicine, I’m passionate about lifelong learning, exploring new ideas, and challenging myself through yoga and other physical activities. I also deeply enjoy fostering community, engaging with the arts, and experiencing different cultures. A fun fact about me is that I love finding creative ways to connect people and ideas—whether through local events, cultural experiences, or collaborative projects.
