Why Kaiser?
"Most people have been directly or indirectly affected by cancer. During those times, I know that it can be difficult to hold onto hope; I want to be a clinician who is able to provide hope by means of radiation therapy. Kaiser LA is a high-volume rad/onc center where I will not only learn an incredible amount but also have the privilege of continuing to care for the people in the community where I first began my journey into medicine. I am looking forward to serving them, learning radiation oncology, and growing as a clinician at Kaiser LA."
