WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A PHYSICIAN: Growing up, my father was a health teacher. There were always old textbooks in my house that I would sit and read, which initiated my love for medicine. I realized I was able to use those skills as I got older, in boy scouts making splints and as a lifeguard teaching water safety. I recognized that helping people was an innate ability and I cannot imagine my life doing anything else.
FAVORITE PART OF YOUR PROFESSION: My favorite part about being a Physician is the incredible satisfaction that comes with making people feel better.
