About Me

As an osteopathic physician, I specialize in providing exceptional primary care at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I chose a career in medicine because I genuinely care about the health and well-being of each person who comes to see me.

I practice a whole-person, common sense approach that addresses each patient’s physical, mental and emotional needs to help them lead a higher quality of life. My patients can always rely on me for excellent communication as we work together to achieve their wellness goals. Previous experiences working in hospice and as a medical director for nursing facilities greatly influenced my approach as well, and my patients can expect compassion in every interaction.

In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I help educate future physicians in my role as a clinical assistant professor of Internal Medicine in the Ohio State College of Medicine. I am also a fellow in the American College of Osteopathic Internists.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our dogs. I enjoy cooking and being outside.
