About Me

I'm a physician assistant at University of Vermont Medical Center and an orthopedic APP clinical lead. I specialize in the treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis and sports medicine. My research interests include non-operative treatment of knee osteoarthritis and injury prevention in endurance athletes. One of my passions is wilderness medicine, and I am a Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine.

I believe caring for people is both a privilege and an honor. I strive to ensure patients are comfortable, well-informed and confident they are receiving top-quality care at every visit.
