Summary

  • Currently I am an attending physician at Loma Linda University Health. I just completed my Infectious Diseases fellowship at Yale University. My research focus is about HIV status and its relation to syphilis. Also, I underwent training in antimicrobial stewardship. In addition, I honed my teaching skills by leading HIV lectures to pharmacists, PA students, and other ID fellows. An additional area of interest is zoonotic infections.
