Question 19 of 35

Take some time to tell us about yourself and what you like to do outside of your practice.

"I grew up with six brothers and sisters, so patience was a necessary virtue. They shaped my experiences. For example, when my sister needed hip surgery, we spent a week in the hospital, and I learned how doctors and nurses cared for her, including operating on her and controlling her post-operative pain. My parents taught me to be dedicated to my family, and I carry this tradition to my family. Outside the practice, we enjoy traveling and spending as much time outdoors as possible. We are active in sports, water activities, and cooking dinners as a whole family."

I met my fiancée here and we have a German short-haired pointer puppy. We love walking and hiking around South Australian national parks, exercising, and traveling, and are planning to do the W trek in Patagonia Chile in December this year. My guilty pleasure is playing board games, and I especially love catching up with friends and playing board games together."
