get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I love the care I can provide that focuses not only on pharmacological management but also looking into socio-cultural aspects of the family.

I like working with kids because...

they are the best! And by caring for and working with kids I want to help them grow, particularly those who are struggling to live the life they want/wish because of mental health related issues.
