Physician, Assistant Professor
Primary Care - General Internal Medicine
Department: Internal Medicine
I chose a career in medicine to channel my empathy and kindness to others when they need it most. As a primary care physician, I help each patient achieve their health and wellness goals. I treat acute illnesses and injuries, manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, and address mental health concerns.
Being a primary care provider allows me to become a part of my patients' families. My career has taught me that listening to my patients is the most important thing. I always work directly with them to come up with a plan that best fits their specific needs and values.
My patients know that I genuinely care about their health, and I will ensure their needs are met. I also appreciate and love the opportunity to meet new people from various backgrounds and learn about their cultures.
My role includes helping to ensure elevated standards are consistently met as a quality improvement leader at Ohio State Outpatient Care East. I have been honored to receive an Extra Mile Award for outstanding medical contributions.
I have a passion for teaching and serve as a clinical assistant professor of Internal Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I enjoy working with medical students and residents because this opportunity to help educate future doctors also lets me be a lifelong learner. I also work closely with residents on quality improvement projects to bridge health care gaps.
I am a member of the American College of Physicians and the Society of General Internal Medicine, and I am involved with several other professional organizations.
When I am not working, I love spending time with my husband, daughter, niece and nephews. I enjoy traveling, eating my mother's home-cooked meals and watching travel vlogs.
