Loma Linda University School of Medicine

I was born and raised in southern California. I completed my undergraduate degree in Biophysics at Pacific Union College in Napa Valley. The medical school I attended and graduated from was Loma Linda University School of Medicine. I love family medicine because of the broad spectrum, continuity of care and preventive aspects. Outside of medicine I love to spend time with family, trying new foods, golfing, and weight lifting.

I was born and raised in the city of Campinas (Brazil), where I went to medical school and where I worked with Emergency Medicine for 2.5 years. Due to my husband’s military commitment, I have had the United States as my home, as well as Italy and now we are back in California so I can do what I love, medicine. I am Christian and understand medicine and God’s mission for me. I see my patients as a whole and I consider it extremely important to take the time to listen to them, and have them be part of their treatment decisions, which is why I have a great interest for Lifestyle Medicine.  I have also worked alongside the military community and have a great appreciation and understanding for it. Outside of medicine, my happiest moments are spending time with my loving husband and amazing son.

Born and raised in Pakistan, where I completed my medical school and had the opportunity to practice medicine in Pakistan and in the UK before I moved to the US. Southern California has been my home since then, and I am excited to serve this diverse community as a Family Medicine resident at Loma Linda Murrieta. I'm drawn to family medicine because it allows me to be a "jack of all trades," caring for patients of all ages and backgrounds. I'm committed to delivering whole-person care for my patients, fostering lifelong relationships, and focusing on preventative medicine. Outside of medicine I love to dance, explore escape rooms, try out different food spots and cook (rather spicy) Pakistani dishes that remind me of home!

Cook. Designer. Painter. Explorer. I was raised in the City of Angels exploring everything but medicine. Perhaps it’s the people I attract or the opportunities that I answer, but medicine found its gravitational pull. While at UC Irvine, I joined the Free Clinic Project as a media and marketing member and gained my first experiences working with the underserved. I soon found myself educating and empowering others in the rural areas of New Mexico where I took another call. Family Medicine Doctor. The curiosity and creativity I had fostered found a channel through supporting the mental and physical well-being of others through generational growth. I hope to continue growing alongside those I meet on this journey.

I was born and raised in North County San Diego as the middle child of two siblings. Ever since I was young, I was raised to strive to serve others on medical and dental mission trips headed by my late grandfather. Since then I have traveled to various countries such as China, Vietnam, Thailand, Fiji, Peru, Costa Rica, and Mexico, where I was able to experience cultural diversity as well as health disparities seen within third world communities. Taking these experiences, I was able to complete my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Southern Adventist University, and my medical degree at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. Being involved in community service and outreach within the Inland Empire during medical school, helped solidify my passion for medicine. Coming from a spiritual background myself, mentors and experiences helped me realize that a person’s “health” is not only affected by physical diseases, but also mental and spiritual needs. My goal as a Family Medicine Physician is to deliver compassionate and holistic patient care addressing all needs affecting health, while also being the best advocate for my patients regardless of the various barriers to care that they may face.
