Education and Training
In 2015, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Physics, Magna
Cum Laude at Yale University, and in 2020, received my
Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Rochester

Philosophy
I believe in partnering with patients to provide care
that aligns with their values and goals. I care for people
of all ages and enjoy providing full-spectrum primary
care to entire families, from infants and children to
their parents and grandparents. My approach is weight
inclusive and includes health at every size principles.
I am passionate about health equity, antiracism, body
positivity, and reproductive justice.

Special Interests
I have a special interest in gynecologic and sexual
health care, gender-affirming care, and caring for
those with eating disorders.

Personal Interests
I was born and raised in Rochester. I love spending
time outside with my family and dog, Dandelion.

Ratings & Comments

At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.
