Physician, Associate Professor
Primary Care - Family Medicine
Department: Family Medicine
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.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
I have been working in family medicine since 1998 and continue to find joy in my patients. I strive to work as an advocate for each patient. I want to help lead patients to better health by focusing on all aspects of their well being. I have been at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center since 2003. I’ve maintained my goals of teaching medical students the art of medicine through effective communication skills and good decision making. What I enjoy the most about The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is working with dedicated colleagues.
