What do you enjoy or find most fulfilling about caring for patients?

I love seeing how minor adjustments to diet can make a big difference on health.

What attracted you to a community health center for your practice?

As someone who grew up in a low-income family and neighborhood. I know the struggles that come with trying to live a healthy lifestyle but not having access to healthcare or nutritious foods.

I would love to work in creative media or marketing.
