How long have you practiced in the Washington, DC area and what do you like most about it?
I have practiced in the Washington, DC area since starting residency in 2006. I enjoy the diversity of patients, the proximity to the nation’s capital, and the vibrant scientific research community.

Spending time with family and friends, running, and singing.
