About Me
I enjoy learning and sharing knowledge with patients and their families, especially when it comes to helping them understand complex medical diagnoses. I find it rewarding to explain medical information in clear, understandable terms so patients can feel informed and empowered in their care.
I have spent the majority of my career working in hospital medicine and am passionate about caring for patients throughout their hospital stay. I strive to help create a coordinated care environment that supports the best possible outcomes. I also enjoy teaching medical students and residents and am committed to helping future physicians expand their knowledge and reach their full potential.
My experience working with underserved populations in Northern Philadelphia gave me a deep respect for the impact socioeconomic circumstances can have on health. I actively seek to understand how a person's environment influences their well-being and how that knowledge can be used to improve care.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading books of all genres and writing.
I strive to help create a coordinated care environment that supports the best possible outcomes.
