My clinical work focuses on adults in specialized programs, including hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). I believe every patient, whether an adult or child, deserves good care and the best possible outcomes. My responsibility is to help each person I see achieve that, and I strive to make their experience as smooth as possible—even when unexpected challenges arise. My inspiration to practice medicine comes from my childhood pediatrician, a humble man who taught me the value of health, fresh air and exercise. He made every visit feel like an event, and his impact on children’s lives was profound. I hope to make as much of a difference as he did and to be just as beloved by my patients and their families.
I am committed to quality improvement in healthcare, with research interests in value-based care, sustainability, and pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In 2025, I was honored to receive the Mazzaferri Ellison Master Clinician Award from Ohio State University, joining a selective group of clinicians dedicated to excellence. I also participated in the inaugural Executive Leadership in Hospitals program as part of the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine 2022-2023 cohort.
In my personal life, I enjoy bike riding, walking and reading and I used to play tennis.
