About
After completing residency training in general psychiatry, she has enjoyed serving her community as a psychiatrist for many years. "I want my patients to know that I value compassion. I try to be as collaborative as possible, respecting that patients are the experts on their own lives and unique circumstances."
That philosophy is the hallmark of her practice and a key reason she chose Beacon. "I was impressed by Beacon's commitment to and involvement in the local community.
In her own words...
Who is or was the most influential person/role model in your life? My parents.
What was your first job growing up? I taught swimming lessons at a local swimming school. I enjoyed sharing something I love with my students.
What is your favorite food? Movie? I enjoy many types of food from around the world, especially Vietnamese, Thai and Indian. I don't watch too many movies (although I would likely enjoy the book).
What were your best/worst subjects in school growing up? Growing up I enjoyed the sciences and English, but did not have an aptitude for languages.
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? Dr. D.A. Henderson, who was the director of the worldwide campaign to eradicate smallpox. He is a great lecturer, and I would love to hear more of the story of one of the great triumphs of medicine.
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests? I enjoy traveling.
What is something most people don't know about you? Before developing an interest in medicine, I wanted to be an ichthyologist (someone who studies fish).
