Our health expression is determined by many factors: the genetics that we inherit; our innate personal traits of race, age and gender; our individual behaviors; our family and community networks; our resident microbial population; and at the macro level, our economic, cultural, and environmental conditions. These factors are different for every individual and will change expression over a lifespan.

The Human Genome

Genes are made up of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and are the template to make proteins. We have two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Human DNA consists of over 3 billion nucleotide base pairs, more than 99% of which are identical in each us. The remainder contains small variations known as SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms).

Biography

Educational Activities

Educational Focus

As clinical teaching faculty, I am privileged to participate in the education and mentorship of the future minds of medicine. I strive to meet my learners and patients where they are in the individual educational or healthcare journeys, empowering them with the confidence that will lead them to a deeper sense of discovery not just about themselves but one another. I am committed to practicing medicine not only with my mind in applying evidence-based practices, expanding the existing knowledge base with research, and teaching the future generations of medicine but with my heart through loving kindness, empathy, and compassion. I aspire to be respected for what I know, but to be valued for who I am and to value those whom I Serve.
