Community Activities
I hope that my research, participation with advocacy organizations, and professional interaction with the American Headache Society and American Academy of Neurology will continue to improve our patients' lived experiences.
Personal Interests
I love exploring new experiences, including visiting museums, trying new restaurants and new cuisines, and traveling. I previously authored numerous reviews as a Yelp Elite for over 5 years, and am always looking for the next best bakery.
Philosophy of Care
My training through Georgetown University taught me the importance of 'Cura Personalis', caring for the person as a whole. My passion for Neurology, and specifically Headache medicine, arose from my desire to understand and treat suffering. We suffer because of the limitations that life has dealt, whether they are physical, emotional/mental, genetic, or environmental. I want to help my patients, their families, other providers, and the larger community understand how to help people overcome those limitations and pursue a meaningful quality of life. This has led to my dedication in the pursuit of clinical excellence. As a physician scientist, I have researched headache epidemiology, big data, treatment profiles for new medications, and understanding rare headache disorders. By lobbying for better support for patients with headache disorders through Headache on the Hill and completion of the Act-NOW advocacy fellowship program with Miles for Migraine, I hope to combat the stigma against those with neurologic disorders, especially migraine and other headache disorders. I actively communicate with headache providers around the world and have participated in international research conferences, discussing my special interests in headache disorders and neurologic care for minorities, including the Asian and LGBTQIA2S+ communities. I also strive to be a physician educator, teaching medical students, residents, and other trainees in how they can better serve their community. Through my pursuit of clinical excellence, dedication, and advocacy, I want to empower my patients and their families to seize the lives they deserve. Together, we will work towards living with a neurological condition and finding happiness.
