I’m a physician assistant specializing in hospital medicine. I care for children during their hospital stays. I believe each patient and caregiver is unique, and that it is important that they feel heard and seen so we can establish a trusting relationship.

My interest in this work stems from my love of interacting with people and helping them as best I can. Initially, I was drawn to emergency medicine to help people in emergency situations. Then, I realized that I wanted to spend more time with my patients and decided that hospital medicine was right for me. I genuinely enjoy what I do.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. My hobbies include going to concerts, completing do-it-yourself (DIY) home projects, gardening and birdwatching.
