Summary
- Throughout my training and education, I have been striving to help people help themselves and nudge the healthcare systems to become more efficient.
I believe that bettering the population's numeracy and medical literacy will reduce financial and human costs.
I believe that one cannot hate someone they understand. Therefore I am striving to help other people walk in my patients' shoes.
I am the vocal advocate for single moms, mentally unwell (declared or not), minorities, the underrepresented.
I dream of a society that is evolved enough not to judge but understands where people are coming from. A society that acknowledges that it is everyone's responsibility to make wise mind decisions.
