Clinical Interests
My clinical interests entail treating complex vascular cases within the field of neurology, including but not limited to ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attacks, arterial dissections, cerebral venous thromboses, arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, cerebral aneurysms, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Care Philosophy
I strive to provide the best and most evidence-based care for all of my patients. I believe that our life experiences shape the people we become, and I always try to remain cognizant and respectful of all cultures, identities, and beliefs. My personal approach to medicine is providing knowledge and clinical expertise while working closely together to empower patients to have autonomy over the decisions that directly affect their health.

Personal Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, exploring national parks, live music, cooking new vegetarian dishes, Mardi Gras, and spending time with my beloved Shih Tzu, Chloe.
