About me

  • Assistant Professor of Clinical Family Medicine and Community Health

I became a family medicine physician to be able to partner with my patients and their families in their personal and health goals. My goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive experience for patients of all ages, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and genders and sexual orientations. At Penn Family Care, I will partner with you and your family for well child care, preventive care and in chronic disease management. I have particular interests in reproductive healthcare including family planning, contraception, prenatal care, cervical cancer screening. At Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, I provide inpatient care for patients of our practice. You will often find me working with medical students and residents.
