What are you passionate about? I love figuring out difficult diagnoses and helping patients to improve their skin. Seeing how life-changing our work can be makes every day worthwhile.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be an investigative reporter. When doing research on blood-type tattoos, I really enjoyed delving into the past and figuring out the truth behind what happened. I loved doing interviews, researching old newspaper articles and uncovering an intriguing story.
Why did you become a provider? I have always loved science and figuring out answers to difficult problems. I love helping people solve issues with their skin and figuring out different solutions.
Something I have learned from my patients is that I am so impressed by their strength. Hearing about their daily struggles is very humbling and I am so thrilled with the ways we can improve their lives.
What are a few of your personal achievements? I have been interviewed and appeared numerous times on both radio and television for my expertise on skin cancer and skin care.
