Growing up, my parents, uncle, grandparents, great-grandmother and I all went to the same doctor. That was four generations that our doctor cared for - and four generations of relationship - and trust-building. \n When it came time to choose a medical specialty, I knew family medicine was right for me since I find it the specialty that values relationship-building the most. I experienced firsthand how a strong patient-physician and family-physician relationship allows a patient's needs to be better understood. I chose family medicine so I can share this experience with my own patients. \n I view myself as my patients' partner in achieving their optimal wellness. I bring the latest evidence and research to the table to help patients best realize their health goals. There is an overwhelming amount of information available - all of it claiming to be the newest and best - and I help patients sort through what's fact and what's fiction so they can make the best decisions for their health. \n I see patients of all ages, from children to seniors. My scope of practice includes preventive care and management of chronic illnesses; management of musculoskeletal, dermatological, mental health and every other condition a family medicine office has to offer. \n I'm trained in using bedside ultrasound for both diagnosis and for procedures such as joint injections. It's a valuable tool that's been shown to improve wait times for a diagnosis, improve the success of office procedures, and increase patient satisfaction. \n I grew up in a small town in gorgeous northwest Connecticut and was raised by loving parents in a household that also included my grandma and an uncle who had special needs. I live in Charlotte with my significant other, who's also a resident physician. My favorite hobbies include golf, cooking, enjoying the outdoors and attending sporting events when I can (and watching on TV otherwise). My favorite teams include the UConn Huskies men's and women's basketball teams and the New York Mets.

My interest in medicine first began with my grandmother, who was a trauma nurse for more than 30 years. The stories she told me as a child about her exciting career piqued my interest in the field, and pushed me toward a career in medicine. My drive got even stronger later in my childhood, when I watched my mother struggle with her health and I myself developed debilitating migraines. I saw firsthand how discouraging and frustrating a doctor's office can be, and I wanted to help change that. \n As a teenager, I spent time in a Red Cross clinic in Ecuador. There, I realized how vital it is that everyone have equal access to medical care, which remains a passion of mine to this day. I chose Family Medicine as my specialty because it allows me to help provide that care to the people and communities around me, and because I enjoy caring for people at every stage of life. I am privileged to provide prenatal and low-risk obstetric care and I have additional special interests in lactation and breastfeeding medicine, headache medicine and global health. \n I love that my job provides so many opportunities for education and partnership. I believe my role as a healthcare provider is to hear patients' concerns, provide information and options, and help each person make the decisions they feel is best for their health. I am also committed to teaching and training family medicine residents as they transition from medical school to independent practice, as well as pushing myself to learn each day so I can continue to provide remarkable care for all my patients. \n When I'm not at work, you can usually find me on some trip or adventure. I spend as much time outdoors as I can, whether its hiking, kayaking or horseback riding, and I love to explore other countries by solo-traveling. When I am home, you can often find me curled up with a book and my two cats.
