Bio

I came to Johns Hopkins in 2010 from Massachusetts to start my General Internal Medicine fellowship and joined faculty in the Division of General Internal Medicine in 2013.  I have been actively involved in medical education–working with medical residents and students in inpatient, outpatient, and didactic/classroom settings, and with the medical faculty through our Faculty Development Program.

 

As a generalist, I am engaged in diverse work and have also been involved in patient safety and healthcare quality research through the Armstrong Institute. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from across disciplines and with research trainees–it continues to be energizing work and adds meaning and perspective to my clinical practice.  It has been a privilege working with the resilient patients of Baltimore; they continue to inspire and challenge me, and the longitudinal relationships that I have developed have been invaluable. 


Outside of medicine, I enjoy staying active, and I go on an annual international trekking adventure. I am also a lover of books–all types including fiction, non-fiction, text, and audio, and I get through 2-3 books per month.
