• My Why

  Throughout my career, I’ve seen how lifestyle choices shape health. Working with foster youth, I witnessed sleep’s transformative impact on well-being. In the ER, I treated life-threatening conditions rooted in preventable chronic illnesses, highlighting gaps in personalized, preventative care. Sleep, though essential, remains one of healthcare’s most overlooked pillars. My mission is to provide individualized sleep medicine that empowers patients to reclaim their health and vitality.
