I grew up on Long Island (NY) with my parents, 3 brothers, and always with a dog in the house. I ventured down to Baltimore to study Biology and Psychology at Loyola University Maryland. After undergrad, I worked as a primary care Medical Assistant which brought me to Washington, DC. I then attended medical school at GW and fell in love with the practice of Family Medicine through great experiences and mentors. Now, I am thrilled to be returning to Baltimore as a Resident Physician at MedStar Franklin Square.
After rotating at Franklin Square during my 4th year of medical school, I came to really appreciate how family medicine has the opportunity to follow patients along their healthcare journeys, providing support and guidance through challenging times and helping to celebrate life's milestones and accomplishments. I have particular interests in women's health, reproductive healthcare, preventive medicine, and procedures–and I look forward to incorporating aspects of various medical specialties into a comprehensive and holistic approach, ensuring that no aspect of care is overlooked.
Outside of medicine, I love to spend time with my family and take my dog, Riley, on adventures. As a former dancer and a daughter to very creative parents, I’ve always enjoyed any opportunity to be artistic–I enjoy painting, repurposing furniture and attempting ‘DIY’ interior design, and cooking and baking new recipes. Also, as a sister to 3 lacrosse-playing brothers, I find myself at many games throughout the season, which is a fun way to spend a day off and spend time with the people I love.
