Why HUMC: Giving back to the community that has done so much for my own family, is the main reason behind my preference for HUMC. My earlier volunteering engagements, choice in medical school, and previous clinical rotations were all done within the Hackensack Hospital Network. During my clinical rotations I was even mentored by the very same team of oncologists who treated my mother's breast cancer and the same surgeons who removed my appendix. I wish to continue actively pursuing opportunities to serve those who have done so much for me and my family.

What being a good doctor means to me: To me, a good doctor is someone who not only possesses the necessary medical knowledge and skills but also demonstrates genuine empathy and compassion towards their patients. An exceptional doctor goes beyond diagnosing and treating patients. They take the time to truly listen and understand the concerns of their patients that might not appear on their lab work. When a doctor combines medical competence with compassion, it creates a nurturing environment where patients feel heard, understood, and cared for.
