ABOUT ME

Growing up in a family of healthcare professionals, with a physician father and a nurse mother, I was introduced to medicine and hospital life from an early age. My own experience with serious childhood illness, including kidney failure, ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in medicine and dedicate my life to caring for others.


Professionally, I developed a passion for critical care medicine during my residency training. My fellowship research focused on the pathophysiology of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Today, my clinical interests include the management of septic shock, acute lung injury, ARDS, and multiple organ dysfunction in critically ill patients.


Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, swimming, and cycling. I’m also an avid fan of 1980s alternative and hard rock music and enjoy playing the electric guitar.

Do or do not. There is no try
