Clinical Interests
My clinical interests center on providing equitable, high-quality care across both inpatient and outpatient settings with a commitment to addressing the social determinants of health and improving transitions of care for vulnerable patients.
Care Philosophy
I believe that all patients deserve high quality care that begins with understanding who they are beyond their diagnosis or primary concern. My goal is to provide each of my patients a space to feel seen, valued, and listened to so that I can work to honor what matters most to them.
