About Me
I am the medical director of the AHF Healthcare Centers - Westside, Redondo Beach, and Long Beach. I have chosen to practice HIV medicine because it's complex, interesting, and impactful. My expertise includes HIV treatment and prevention – including the use of LA injectables, Men's Health, LGBTQ+ care including hormone replacement therapy, infectious diseases and travel medicine. I believe there will be a cure for HIV in my lifetime, and if I can contribute to a cure by practicing HIV medicine, I couldn't imagine doing anything else!
During my training as an infectious diseases specialist, a highlight was when I worked in Malawi, Africa - a resource-limited country - caring for people living with HIV and other infectious diseases. Taking care of people who would travel for hours to days to see a doctor was a difficult but humbling experience, especially when sometimes I could only provide a prayer.
My USP (unique selling point): Midwest raised, globally educated. LGBTQ+. I focus on wellness, not just numbers. Hablo Español.
Fun Fact: I am an advanced SCUBA diver and have dived some of the best dive sites all over the world. I've seen a barracuda tornado at Barracuda Point, Sipadan Island, Borneo, Malaysia! I've done global health work in rural Guatemala and Malawi, Africa; and lived and studied in Mexico, Australia, St. Maartan and London. I have experience training in 8 different cities and 10 hospitals across the United States. A non-medical skill that has been invaluable to the way I practice medicine is traveling. I have traveled to almost 70 countries and have lived and studied in 5 different countries. I can speak English and Spanish and am conversant in French.

About Me
I am the medical director of the AHF Healthcare Centers - Westside, Redondo Beach, and Long Beach. I have chosen to practice HIV medicine because it's complex, fascinating, and impactful. I believe that there will be a cure for HIV in my lifetime, and if I can help by practicing HIV medicine, treating, and one day curing people of HIV, I couldn't imagine doing anything else!
During my training as an infectious diseases specialist, a highlight was when I worked in Malawi, Africa, a resource-limited country caring for people living with HIV. Taking care of people who would travel for hours to days to see a doctor was a difficult but humbling experience, especially when I could only provide a prayer.
My special interests include travel medicine and HIV prevention.
