About Me

I am a provider of the AHF Healthcare Centers: Biloxi HCC. With years of experience as a healthcare provider, I found my passion in HIV and infectious disease medicine about six years ago. These fields have allowed me to make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives by addressing complex medical needs while also providing support and understanding during challenging times. What I love most about this work is the opportunity to help patients take control of their health and live fuller, healthier lives and the gratitude our patients express to us on a daily basis.

Fun Fact: Outside of my work in medicine, I’ve always had a passion for exploring new perspectives and connecting with people. One interesting part of my journey is that I recently earned my Doctorate of Medical Science, which deepened my understanding of patient care and broadened my expertise in the field.

In my personal life, I enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures, which has shaped my approach to providing culturally sensitive and personalized care. I also value giving back to the community, whether through mentoring future healthcare professionals or participating in outreach programs to promote health education and awareness.

These experiences have enriched my life and, I believe, made me a more compassionate and well-rounded provider.

I was drawn to AHF because of its commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care to communities that need it most. The organization's mission to break down barriers and reduce stigma aligns perfectly with my values. Being part of a team that’s dedicated to improving lives and advancing care in HIV and infectious disease is both inspiring and fulfilling. I’m proud to contribute to this important work.
