About

Life

Family, travel, yoga and everything that keeps me going.

Family

I'm a mom first. My husband, Joaquin, is also an eye surgeon, and together we're raising two wonderful, energetic kids in Sarasota. Family keeps me grounded and reminds me every day why balance matters.

Yoga

Yoga has been part of my life for years. I'm a certified Hatha Vinyasa instructor (300+ hours of teacher training), and my mat is where I recharge.

Travel

I love to travel, and medicine has taken me to Sweden, South Korea, India, Haiti, Bolivia, Guatemala and the Philippines.

Staying active

When I'm not on the mat, you'll find me doing high-intensity interval training or out on a hike.

Languages

I speak Malayalam, a South Indian language, fluently, plus basic medical Spanish.
