My time in the high-acuity setting of the critical care department taught me the importance of noticing subtle clinical changes—details that can significantly alter outcomes. This experience has shaped my practice to be both proactive and observant as a health care provider. Every patient deserves to feel heard, understood and involved. I take pride in listening to my patients and their families. Shared decision-making is not just a goal—it’s the standard I aim for in every encounter. I am passionate about patient education, explaining complex medical issues in a straightforward, relatable, and relevant way that is tailored to each individual’s life. When patients and families understand their health, they are better equipped to engage in their care, make informed choices and feel confident in their path forward.
