About Me

I joined Adult Primary Care - Barre from the University of Colorado Gastroenterology and Hepatology Division. Originally from Colorado, I moved to Arizona to attend physician assistant school at Midwestern University. While in Arizona, I gained four years of experience in adult primary care before moving into gastroenterology. My clinical interests include women's health and gastroenterology.

In my spare time, I enjoy pottery, hiking and paddleboarding. I moved to Vermont to be closer to my partner's family in Waterbury.
