Because, I am so grateful for the life I am able to live and I want to give back. I was born in Asia to my mother who married my father at ** years old. Their marriage had been arranged since before she could walk. My parents immigrated to the land of the free to educate my brothers, sister and me. Everyday I thank God, the universe, and them for that decision. Being in the states allows me the ability to express myself and my full potential. I have been given so much and I know so much. I intend to contribute in a deep and meaningful way to this beautiful planet.

My parents emphasized education from the very beginning. And I have been so supported in all academic pursuits. I began my journey in Medicine after discovering a love of Medicine as an undergraduate at Louisiana State University. Somehow, I got accepted into a college in the *th best medical school in India, Kasturba Medical College.

I studied, volunteered, and worked in various capacities, which included conducting medical studies in clinics in India, Trinidad, Miami, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and rural cities in Louisiana. I completed medical school at Medical University of the Americas, an off shore medical school that allowed me to work with some of the most prominent doctors in their field.

I believe almost every doctor enters the field because they wish to heal. Here in the US most medical students are taught years of pharmacology, with only months of anatomy and a few weeks of nutrition. The approach I learned in India focused on anatomy (two years of dissection alone), physiology and biochemistry, with a focus on nutrition and the bodies intelligence.

I have passed United States Medical Licensing Exams on the road to practice in the US and discovered I heal outside of the traditional allopathic (western) scope. I use what I learned from my grandmother, my years of eastern and western training and the bodies intelligence and my intuition.
