I chose to go into family medicine so I could help people of all ages stay or become healthy and active. Before becoming a physician assistant, I was an athletic trainer and really love sports medicine and helping active people stay active. I specifically chose family medicine because I can see and help a wide range of people with various problems and illnesses. My goal is to partner with my patients, take care of their health and help them make the best individual choices. I'm especially happy to help my neighbors and other members of the community who live close to me.

I'm originally from India and grew up in four countries: India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia and the United States. Having that global perspective has helped me understand and empathize with patients of all different backgrounds. Working for HealthPartners from 2008 to 2015 as a clinical research project manager inspired me to practice medicine and spend my career providing care to patients. During my clinical training at Augsburg, I discovered that I loved working in family medicine. I enjoy supporting patients of all different ages and backgrounds. That's why I stayed in primary care. I never know what I'm going to see, and every day I'm pushed to use what I've learned so I can do as much as I can for my patients. I have a passion for working with underserved patients, especially refugees and new immigrants, older adults, and the LGBTQIA+ population. I also enjoy working with pediatric patients and their families. Some of my top interests include diabetes and hypertension management, HIV medicine, travel medicine, sexual health and chronic disease care. I understand the importance of preventive care and work with my patients to help them prevent disease and live longer, healthier lives. I take a team approach to health care. Partnering with patients, we decide on an evidence-based care plan. If I need more resources, I have a great team of providers to support me, as well as the whole care system and referrals network.
