Bio
I completed my PGY1 residency and my PGY2 residency in ambulatory care. I currently work at Summa Health in the Family Medicine Center where I work closely with residents and attending physicians to manage acute and chronic conditions both in the clinic and in the hospital. I see patients independently, alongside residents, and as part of multidisciplinary teams. My focus is largely on diabetes management in the clinic and I am passionate about caring for underserved patient populations. I love watching students grow and learn on rotations and really enjoy the opportunity to participate in multidisciplinary teaching and learning.
