What motivates you to do this work?
Through my studies in public health, I have learned the incredible burden chronic diseases place upon communities. Through my work in clinical settings, I have seen first-hand how difficult it is for patients to navigate these conditions. I am motivated by these experiences to reduce barriers those with living with chronic disease encounter, and to maximize their quality of life. I believe every individual deserves a life free of disease; I do this work in an effort to achieve this ideal.
