About Me

I've worked in Internal Medicine Primary Care since 2014. Originally from Central Vermont, I graduated from UVM's Nurse Practitioner Program and began my career in Brattleboro before moving back to Central Vermont to be close to family. 

My clinical interests include obesity medicine, mental health and geriatrics.

In my spare time I enjoy running, cycling, painting and playing Dungeon's and Dragons.
