Biography

As a board-certified internal medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in infectious diseases in immunocompromised hosts, focusing on infections in those with hematologic malignancies, stem cell transplants, and cellular therapies such as CAR-T, with a particular interest in invasive fungal infections. As an active member of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program, I am dedicated to advancing antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship to optimize therapy and improve outcomes in this high-risk population.

My approach is rooted in compassionate care, clear communication, and teamwork. I am dedicated to mentoring future clinicians as an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine.
