I am born and raised in Long Island, NY and fell in love with Rochester during my undergraduate years at SUNY Geneseo. I deeply enjoy quality time with my family and time spent outdoors.

I approach medicine with a holistic approach to care incorporating not only an individual patient's disease process but their, psychosocial concerns, wishes, values, hopes and family dynamics into their care. Additionally as a palliative care physician I enjoy working with patients with severe chronic medical conditions and helping those patients and their families navigate the incredible burdens that come with these diagnoses.
