Personal Statement
I am a big believer in practicing what we preach as health care providers. Taking care of ourselves as much as we take care of those around us. My major interests include principals of wellness, healthy work life balance, addiction, positive psychology, acceptance commitment therapy, and body dysmorphic disorder. My long-term hobbies in athletics, philosophy, and nature all shape my ideals in mental health and mental health support. It is an honor to be a positive energy in the lives of any patient, or even any person in general I come across.?VR
