  My approach to patient care extends beyond the exam room. I believe in fostering open communication and collaboration to deliver holistic, patient-centered care. My areas of expertise include HIV/Hepatitis C prevention and treatment, gender-affirming care, and mental health conditions like PTSD and ADHD.
  
  A Commitment to Continuous Learning
  
  I'm a lifelong learner, constantly seeking new knowledge and skills to better serve my patients. This passion for continuous learning is reflected in my pursuit of a post-graduate certification in health informatics and numerous degrees and certificates.
  
  A Personal Touch
  
  As an autistic, non-binary, polyamorous, and queer provider, I bring a unique perspective to patient care. I understand the importance of creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone.
