Q. What is your specialty and why did you choose it?

A. “I chose hematopathology because I see a hematopathologist as a maestro, skillfully guiding an orchestra to create a masterpiece. This perspective fuels my passion for hematological pathology and the art of synthesizing clinical history, histological examination, and ancillary tests into a single, conclusive report. This comprehensive approach enables me to guide my colleagues toward the most effective treatment options for our patients.”
