"My greatest joy is seeing the life in patients' eyes, and reminding them of the potential they hold in their own health and happiness. It is truly humbling to serve others in this life journey. I love teaching and learning. My patients have made me a better daughter, mother, wife, sister, friend and physician."

Much love to all my colleagues and friends I served with side by side in the ICU, Bronch suite, Medicine wards, ER, Pulmonary Clinic, Operating Room,
Palliative Care room and more.
A piece of my heart remains "down the bayou".
