Bio
I strive to build a space where patients feel safe to discuss their health concerns and engage in shared decision-making.
Prior to joining South Shore Health, I had the privilege to train at UMass Family Medicine Residency and complete an additional year of fellowship to also care for patients living with HIV/viral hepatitis at the Family Health Center of Worcester.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, running, gardening, and camping/hiking.
