  • Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the esteemed University of California, Sacramento, in 1993.
  • Pursued my medical ambitions at the prestigious Western University of Health Sciences, graduating from medical school in 1998.
  • Completed a three-year internship and residency in family medicine, honing my expertise at a renowned hospital in Modesto, California.

 

Professional Growth

  • Not only did I thrive in this esteemed institution, but I also had the privilege of eventually owning the clinic!
  • Through my practice, I have provided quality medical care, fostering the well-being of a community I hold dear.

 

Passions and Family

  • Avid soccer enthusiast, both as a spectator and a participant.
