Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
From as early as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a doctor.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in biology and then continued on to medical school.
While in medical school, I helped one of my mentees navigate the healthcare system through her pregnancy, which inspired me to want to work in adolescent healthcare.
I completed my residency in family medicine and decided that I wanted to provide full-scope adolescent medical care for young people.
I built my career as both a family medicine physician and community health advocate.
In 2017, I opened Dream Youth Clinic, a no-cost, youth-led health clinic based in Oakland, California.

Day to Day
Dream Youth Clinic is a no-cost clinic, so I spend a lot of time fundraising. I'll be speaking with funders or with the city, dealing with grants and contracts, and fostering partnerships so that we're able to fund our no-cost services. I also spend time focusing on our vision and working on developing and executing our long and short-term goals. My favorite part of my job is being in the clinic and working with young people.
