About Me
I am a primary care provider specializing in obesity medicine at the Center for Women’s Health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I treat a range of conditions, including diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, with an emphasis on preventive health strategies and sustainable weight management techniques.
I love my job because I am passionate about helping women achieve optimal health and well-being. My previous experience caring for hospitalized patients deepened my understanding of acute and complex medical issues, enabling me to provide comprehensive and well-rounded care. I believe in empowering my patients through patient education and by developing personalized treatment plans that align with their individual goals and values.
When patients come to see me, they can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where they can feel heard and valued. Whether patients are seeking preventive screenings, weight management support or assistance with managing chronic conditions, I am here to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to their needs. Building a trusting relationship is my priority, and it’s a privilege to help guide each person on their unique health journey.
The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center offers a collaborative and innovative environment dedicated to excellence in patient care, education and research. I’m proud to be part of the team and to pay it forward by helping to educate the next generation of providers. I have worked with medical students and residents throughout my career and now serve as an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family. I believe a balanced life helps me stay energized and passionate about providing the best care for my patients.
