About
Personal Statement
I am very excited to return to New York City and join Weill Cornell Medicine. I love primary care because of the longitudinal relationships I can build with my patients. Guiding them through their care while integrating their preferences, circumstances, and evidence-based medicine is incredibly rewarding. I hope to use my multicultural background to relate to a diverse group of patients, gain their trust, and empower them to advocate for their healthcare.
