Research/professional interests:

I am most interested in rheumatology, hematology, and infectious disease. I also am interested in research involving quality improvement, improving access to care, and medication reconciliation.

How I fell in love with internal medicine/pediatrics:

I first became interested in medicine after having some incredible experiences working at camps for kids with neuromuscular diseases and developmental disabilities. Throughout medical school, I enjoyed learning about pediatric medicine and seeing kids in the clinic. I also was fascinated by the pathophysiology of internal medicine, and the relationships I formed with patients on my rotations. Thus, I decided to have the best of both worlds by training in internal medicine and pediatrics.
