My Story

About Me

From a young age, I've been captivated by the intricate dance between the human body and mind. This curiosity has blossomed into a profound dedication to medicine, specifically at the intersection of neuroscience and mental health. My journey is driven by an unwavering commitment to understanding and alleviating suffering, and by the belief that compassionate, evidence-based care can transform lives.

I thrive on intellectual challenges and am passionate about lifelong learning. Whether it's delving into complex research, volunteering in clinical settings, or leading community health initiatives, each experience strengthens my resolve to become a physician who not only treats ailments but also empowers individuals and advocates for systemic change in healthcare.

I envision a future where mental health is prioritized as an integral part of overall wellbeing, accessible and destigmatized for all.
