Biography
As a family medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in women’s health, overcoming barriers to health and caring for underserved populations. I believe in listening to my patients and applying my problem solving skills in order to advocate for their health in every situation.
I am passionate about my work and helping all the people I encounter on the job, including patients, medical students and coworkers, to become their best selves.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the amazing team spirit in both education and patient care.
When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring the world with my family, running and reading.
