Philosophy of care | I believe every individual deserves compassionate, equitable and high-quality care – regardless of background, identity or circumstance.

I am passionate about comprehensive care across all stages of life (from children to older adults) and I am especially dedicated to serving women, reproductive health needs and the LGBTQIA+ community. My goal is to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where patients feel seen, heard and supported. I am committed to improving health outcomes and access for underserved populations, ensuring care is not only available, but also responsive to the diverse needs of our community. | Why I entered medicine | Growing up under challenging socioeconomic conditions, I witnessed firsthand how limited access to health care can affect individuals, families and communities. As a teenager volunteering at a nursing home, I discovered the impact compassionate care and human connection can have, solidifying my desire to become a physician. Family medicine allows me to serve people from all walks of life and build lasting relationships that foster trust and healing. My journey has been guided by a commitment to caring for underserved and unseen populations – those who too often face barriers to care. For me, medicine is both a calling and a means of service: a way to give back, promote equity and help every patient live with dignity and health. | Community involvement | I am a Mountain Top Rotary Club member and support charities for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Compassion International. | Personal interests | I enjoy the performing arts, reading, writing, scrapbooking and traveling.

Philosophy of care | I believe most chronic illnesses we struggle with are preventable, but also realize daily life can inhibit our ability to make healthy lifestyle choices or find appropriate care. My priority is staying up to date on medical developments that can help slow or even reverse a chronic disease. As your doctor my goal is helping you and your family find a path that works for you and improves the trajectory of your life. | Why I entered medicine | I initially thought about a career in medicine while studying high school biology and being fascinated by the intricacy of mechanisms governing the human body. I also was influenced by my own experience with the health care system while hospitalized for appendicitis as a young teenager. In college I majored in neuroscience and behavior, and later worked in a research lab studying autoimmune disorders. Family medicine/primary care provides me the opportunity to form long-term relationships with patients like you, creating a bond for working together on your physical and mental well-being. | Community involvement | During my residency near Boston, I worked with under-insured patients by performing pre-school physicals for children and then connected their families to resources for establishing consistent care. In medical school, I volunteered to teach 5th graders at a Philadelphia public school about healthy lifestyle choices involving nutrition, exercise and mental health. I plan to pursue similar endeavors in the Lehigh Valley. | Personal interests | I enjoy reading or listening to books/podcasts in my free time, which is usually when I drive or during vacations. Fiction of all kinds and self-improvement/self-help are my favorite genres. My go-to exercises are running and yoga. Recently, I have found kayaking to be very peaceful and rejuvenating.
