Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I bring knowledge to patient care and support my clinical colleagues with my expertise in anatomic and clinical pathology.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
I can provide patients with accurate, timely diagnoses and, if needed, discuss the clinical implications of their condition.

How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I spend time with my family and take courses in poetry, history and other topics that I find interesting. I also garden, compost, cook and travel.

I find that pathology allows me to use my analytical skills so that I can provide patients with accurate diagnoses and prognoses of their disease.
