Biography
I am excited to be a part of the team at The Ohio State University treating patients with a multidisciplinary approach. My goal as a physician is to use my education and training toward treating not only a patient's disease but also the patient as a whole. Rheumatologic conditions often affect different organ systems and several aspects of a patient's life. During my clinic visits, I value the time used to educate patients about their disease states and discuss treatment options. Being able to provide individualized care and see the positive impact and improvement in quality of life are the best parts of my day.
I regularly attend symposiums and educational programs held by the American College of Rheumatology to stay at the forefront of medical developments and research breakthroughs. I also have a strong desire to train new physicians.
In my clinic, I see a broad spectrum of rheumatologic conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematosus, sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma, mixed connective tissue disease, myositis, polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
In my spare time, I enjoy culinary adventures as well as travel with my husband and playing musical instruments.

Consulting and related relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
