I’ve always had an interest in science and in helping people; becoming a physician was a natural fit.

I’ve known Dr. Carlin for many years; he was actually one of my residents. When he approached me to join the WorldClinic physician team, I couldn’t say no to the interesting opportunity. It was exciting to get on the concierge medicine “bandwagon” early on and be at the forefront of medical innovation. 

I know it sounds simple, but being able to help people. 

A diligent work ethic is something that has always been ingrained in me; every day I try to do my best. I enjoy the ever-evolving nature of medicine and the opportunities it presents for continuous learning and growth.
