I was inspired to choose medicine by my mother, who is also a family doctor. I grew up seeing her as a problem-solver,connecting with patients and their families, and was inspired by the gratification that comes from helping people when they are sharing their vulnerabilities and investing their trust in their doctor. I believe that I am a partner in my patients’ health, and my role is to keep motivating them to make healthy choices.
