About
Philosophy of care
I believe in practicing evidence-based medicine and delivering patient-centered care. Medicine is a collaborative effort, working as a team in a clinical setting to provide patients the best care possible.
Why I entered medicine
I always wanted to help people, and that's what medicine is! It made sense my career would be working with others; I enjoy connecting with people. Medicine appealed to me also because you constantly use your knowledge and experience to diagnose and treat those who come to you for help. It is something new every day. I love that medicine is ever-changing and evolving.
Community involvement
I have completed walks/5Ks/charity events sponsored by medical programs like Relay for Life and American Heart Association. I also volunteered at LVHN in the patient services department during high school, and worked with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America during college.
Personal interests
When not at work, you will find me outside with my dog Calvin and enjoying the sun. The pool and the beach are my favorite places to be in the summer. I spend a lot of free time with my family and friends in the Bethlehem area visiting restaurants and participating in local events. I also love traveling and going on vacations!
