Internal Medicine Residents

Hello, I’m from Southern California. I like to hang out with friends, eat, play sports, and play games.

Hi there! I'm Ahmed, originally from Mansoura, Egypt. After completing medical school, I moved to sunny Los Angeles to join cardiology research at UCLA. Since then, SoCal has truly become my home away from home, and I can't imagine being anywhere else. I love exploring California, from its beautiful beaches to scenic mountains and hikes. In my free time, you can find me trying out new foods, traveling, discovering new places and learning about different cultures.

I grew up in Kansas City, KS and completed medical school in San Antonio, TX after obtaining my degree in psychology and medical humanities. Having also completed my Master's in Public Health, I am interested in understanding the influence of social determinants of health and health disparities on patient outcomes. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, reading, playing tennis, and taking barre/Pilates classes!

I was born and raised in Vietnam and grew up in Colorado, where I received my BS in 2008 from CU Boulder. I spent 12 years in a different line of work until I started medical school in 2020 at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Having lived in SoCal previously, I'm stoked to be back in the area and hope to be here long-term. I'm a big fan of most animals (ask me which ones I don't like) and love spending time with family, pets, and friends. Being from Colorado, I'm also a big outdoors person: I enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, biking, and was an avid snowboarder at one point in my life. Additionally, I love tropical fruits and plants and enjoy introducing them to anyone who listens.

I am a graduate of the University of California Riverside School of Medicine, and my passion lies in helping people through medicine. Throughout my education and training, I have focused on understanding the needs of patients and providing compassionate care. I believe that every person deserves to be treated with respect and empathy, and I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone under my care. Whether it's in the clinic or the hospital, I am committed to delivering the best possible care and making a positive impact on the lives of my patients.

I was born and raised in Morgan Hill, California and moved to San Diego for my undergrad at UCSD. I loved Southern California so much I decided to move back here after completing medical school at Midwestern University in Arizona. I love medicine because I truly enjoy connecting with patients and making an impact on their lives. In my spare time, I’ll most likely be indoor rock climbing, attempting to create pottery, playing guitar, or hiking!

I was previously living in Philadelphia before moving to Southern California for residency, and the transition has been nothing short of amazing. At LLUMC Murrieta, I’m truly enjoying the supportive environment and the opportunity to grow during my intern year. Outside the hospital, I love exploring everything SoCal has to offer with my husband—from whale watching along the coast to relaxing at the beaches and hiking in the mountains. It has been such a rewarding experience both professionally and personally, and I feel grateful for this chapter of my life.

With a background in Medicine and Healthcare Administration, I am passionate about seeing healthcare through both clinical and systemic lenses. I believe in holistic, patient-centered care that connects individual experiences to broader change. Outside of work, I enjoy playing lawn tennis and exploring diverse cuisines!

I am a second-generation Filipino American, born in Texas but raised mostly in Southern California. I completed my undergraduate degree in biology from Andrews University before attending Loma Linda University School of Medicine (2021-2025). My passion for medicine lies in providing compassionate, comprehensive patient care, whether as a hospitalist or in an outpatient setting. In my free time, you can find me spending time with family and friends, exploring new restaurants in the Murrieta and Temecula areas, or taking road trips to national parks with my fiancé.

Born and raised in Egypt, I graduated from Mansoura Medical School and completed my heme-oncology residency before gaining diverse clinical experience across Egypt and Bahrain. Driven by a passion for lifelong learning and patient care, I moved to the United States to further my medical education and broaden my horizons. Outside of medicine, I cherish time with my wonderful family—my spouse and three children—and embrace every opportunity to appreciate life’s journey.

Hi everyone! I’m originally from San Diego, where I was born and raised. I studied Biology at San Diego State University and went on to earn my medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona. I feel incredibly grateful for the privilege of caring for patients during some of their most vulnerable moments. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, staying active, and getting outdoors whenever I can.

I'm originally from the Bay area. I went to UC Berkely for undergrad and Case Western for medical school. I'm passionate about health equity, evidence-based care, and patient advocacy. Outside of medicine, I enjoy working out and spending time with my cat!

Hi everyone! I was born and raised in Bethlehem, where I earned my MD from Al-Quds University School of Medicine in 2024. I previously lived in Southern California and absolutely fell in love with it, so I am truly grateful and excited to be back for my residency at LLUMC Murrieta. I hope to call this community home for many years to come and feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a supportive and welcoming LLUMC family. I love medicine because it allows me to bring comfort, lift spirits, and help ease suffering for my patients. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at the beach, and I am a big fan of BBQs with family and friends!

I was born and raised in Southern California, and my family later settled in Murrieta during the pandemic. I am no stranger to relocation, having attended Hiram College in Northeast Ohio, where I pursued a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, followed by medical school at St. George’s University in Grenada. My passions in medicine lie in critical care, with a strong commitment to continuity of care and evidence-based practice. In my free time, I enjoy photography, taking walks with my dog, and building LEGO sets.

Hi everyone! I was born and raised in Orange County, California. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Irvine and earned my medical degree from the Western University of Health Sciences. I am excited to continue my training at Loma Linda and to serve the Southern California community.

Being born and raised in San Diego, I am grateful for the opportunity to return to Southern California for my medical training. I completed my undergraduate education at Brigham Young University and attended medical school at Rocky Vista University in Utah. I look forward to embracing the mission of Loma Linda University Health by providing compassionate, whole-person care and helping relieve the physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering of my patients. Outside of medicine, I enjoy experiencing life with my wife, watching K-dramas, weight training, and improving my golf game.

I’m originally from Bakersfield, CA, and earned my undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from UC Riverside. Afterward, I completed my medical education at CHSU in Clovis, CA. I'm grateful to be back in Southern California for residency, closer to my family. I look forward to working directly with patients, helping improve their health outcomes, and advocating for their well-being. I'm excited to get involved and provide compassionate care in the community. During my days off, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, playing tennis, detailing my car, and watching the 49ers.
