Clinical Interests
While I enjoy everything infectious, I have a particular interest in antimicrobial stewardship, tick-borne infections, viral syndromes, and febrile travelers

Care Philosophy
Infections can be scary. As an Infectious Diseases Physician I strive to help my patients, their families, and their care teams understand the many facets of the diagnostic and treatment process, and what to expect along the way. I think that through a better understanding of the process, we can all work more effectively as a team to help our patients find their way back to health.

Personal Interests
When not thinking about infectious diseases, I enjoy hiking and skiing, playing the piano, getting lost in a good book, attempting to craft, and engaging in kitchen adventures (otherwise known as cooking and baking)

Public Speaking
Yes
