I came to the United States as a refugee when I was a young child. My family and I have always been so appreciative of the health services we received when we arrived. The people who cared for us were kind and attentive; they were pivotal in restoring our health, but also in giving us hope that we could adjust to a new country and a new life. My affinity toward medicine was born out of these experiences. They inspired me to pursue a career as a physician assistant, where I could help ease the suffering of those in need and work hard to bridge health disparities in underserved communities.
Your health literacy is very important to me. I believe that providers play a critical role in helping you understand your disease as well as the risks and benefits of treatment options. The more informed you are, the more confident you will feel about the decisions you’re making. I strive to build a strong, lasting relationship with you that is based on transparency: My hope is that you’ll feel comfortable coming to me with any concern or question and, in turn, you can count on me to provide jargon-free explanations about diagnoses, procedures, therapies and outcomes.
Provider background
Specialties and clinical expertise: Hematologic malignancies
I am a certified physician assistant who specializes in caring for patients with malignant and non-malignant blood disorders. During my training, I received the Richard Layton Underserved Award for providing care in resource-strapped communities across the state. One of the ways I engage in continuous learning is to teach clinical skills to first-year physician assistant students at MEDEX Northwest. In addition to teaching and providing hands-on care, I also support research efforts in the areas of thrombosis and sickle cell disease through SCCA, Bloodworks NW and UW Medicine.
