About Me
I am the Medical Director of AHF Healthcare Center - Downtown. I developed an interest in HIV medicine during my time in residency. I became fascinated by the variety of diseases during my HIV and infectious disease rotations and the complications that can arise in those with HIV infection. As I entered fellowship and started working in the outpatient HIV setting, I really became passionate about wanting to help those with HIV live long and healthier lives. Recently, I developed an interest in STD research and began working on a study involving Cefixime for early syphilis treatment. In addition to that, I currently serve as a physician supervisor at AHF for 3rd year family medicine residents at Dignity Health California Hospital Medical Center. I oversee residents on their 2-week HIV rotation.
Fun Fact: I enjoy various hobbies including enjoying the outdoors, hiking, swimming, biking, and tennis.
