Personal

Outside of medicine, Shurekkia likes to spend time with her family and friends, checking out live bands, attending concerts, reading, being outdoors and soaking up the sun.

Shurekkia’s medical ethos is “if you know how something works, you are more likely to put in the work to take better care of it.” This is why her favorite part about being in health care is having the opportunity to educate patients about the functions of their body.
