Her academic journey and clinical practice have equipped her with an understanding of both time-honored traditions and emerging research in the field of acupuncture and herbal medicine.

This hands-on dissection work offers critical understanding of tissue relationships and injury patterns that directly translates to improved clinical practice. She is engaged in ongoing research exploring the integration of traditional acupuncture methodologies with modern anatomical science to optimize treatment protocols and improve therapeutic results.
