Biography
As a primary care physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and a Columbus native, I am thrilled for the opportunity to give back to my hometown community. I treat patients for a variety of acute and chronic health conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, anxiety and depression.
My practice emphasizes preventive medicine and healthy aging. I am focused on helping patients with multiple health issues navigate their conditions and achieve a better quality of life.
My role includes researching ways to address and overcome healthcare disparities affecting underserved communities. I also help educate the next generation of providers. I am an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine, and I currently hold the provost’s fellowship-to-faculty tenure position in the Division of General Internal Medicine within The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Academics and research
I am an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and I am passionate about advancing public health through innovative research. As a Fellowship to Faculty Scholar in the Division of General Internal Medicine, my academic work centers on reducing health disparities by improving access to and uptake of preventive care services in the primary care setting.
My current areas of focus include developing strategies to encourage patients to undergo lung cancer screenings and expanding access to cervical cancer screenings through the use of the HPV self-collected vaginal swab. I am also working as a collaborator on a project focused on reducing maternal mortality in the postpartum setting, and I am developing expertise in systematic reviews.
