Biography
I am a palliative medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the OSUCCC – James. My expertise lies in managing distressing symptoms while providing holistic support that addresses psychosocial and spiritual needs. I draw on my communication training to enhance empathetic communication strategies, which I believe are essential for fostering open dialogue and shared decision-making throughout the health care journey. I have a particular interest in caring for adolescents and young adults facing life-limiting serious illnesses.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I serve as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and am a member of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. I find immense fulfillment in educating the next generation of physicians, mentoring students at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and training residents and fellows.
