Despite loving the work I did, I realized I missed the patient interaction and clinical aspect of healthcare. I took part in numerous research projects on topics ranging from improving cervical cancer screenings to battling childhood obesity in inner cities and eventually spent a year in Seoul, Korea on a Fulbright grant where I studied the cultural and social effects on suicide among women. ![]() My interests in healthcare include health policy, health education, social justice, academic medicine and global health. In graduate school, my interest very quickly turned into passion, as I loved how public health had the ability to change the lives of those most in need by utilizing many different fields, including medicine, public policy, sociology, economics and even environmental science. Originally a violin performance major turned philosophy major, I quickly realized the lack of practical application my major held, and after pondering my path in life, I learned about public health and immediately developed a strong interest in it. My path to medicine is as diverse as the patient population here in Los Angeles. Why Harbor?: As a Los Angeles native, I am thrilled to be back home and serving patients in the best city in the world.
