About me
Palliative medicine manages the symptoms of serious illnesses that affect a patient's quality of life. Making health choices can be tough, so I try to focus on my patients' needs.
When you care for patients, listening is key, especially when they're seriously ill. I spend my days prioritizing comfort and relief for my patients. Family and loved ones are also part of this journey, and I make sure they also feel supported. Working as a team, we respect everyone's needs.
The most rewarding part of my job is helping people reconnect to the things that matter to them, even during illness. I am committed to walking alongside each person, offering care, support, and understanding every step of the way.
