About Me

I am a fellowship-trained critical care physician at Memorial Healthcare System, where I provide a range of life support, intensive care and family support services.

I was inspired to pursue a career in medicine after losing my sister in a car accident at a young age. That experience showed me what a profound impact physicians can have on someone in the most difficult moments of their life. Since then, my goal has been to support my patients and their families on their hardest days. If I can make even a small difference, I feel that I am honoring my sister’s memory.

I enjoy practicing critical care medicine because it combines complex decision-making, collaborating with a team and providing hands-on procedural care.

I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based care while treating every patient with dignity and respect. I believe in partnering with patients and their families through clear communication and thoughtful, individualized decision-making to achieve the best possible outcomes.
