About me

Vice Chair for Research; Director (Mixed Methods Research Lab)
Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

I completed my residency and fellowship here at Penn and have enjoyed tremendously my time connecting with my patients and working with my colleagues over the years. I see patients, teach, partner with our community, and do research (see sections below).

For my patients, I will do my best to meet you where you are and partner with you to achieve your best life through building on your strengths and shouldering your challenges with you. I focus on prevention and take seriously the work it takes to live with and thrive with a chronic condition. I am committed to making our practice welcoming and safe for everyone with attention to the trauma of past discrimination and racism. I'll work hard for you and always do my best.

My education and training

Medical School: Temple University School of Medicine
Residency: University of Pennsylvania Health System
