Best Part of My Job:

Working at Rise gives me the opportunity to collaborate with doctors and team members in other disciplines which is both incredibly rewarding, but also enables me to deliver the best all-around care for my patients.

Special Talent:

While I really enjoy all aspects of internal medicine, I have worked hard to hone various skills including abdominal ultrasound, interventional procedures such as tracheal stents, and various endoscopies including gastrointestinal/colonic endoscopy, nasal rhinoscopy, pulmonary bronchoscopy, urinary/cystoscopy. I also have extensive experience treating critically ill internal medicine patients.

One Thing People May Not Know About Me:

I grew up riding Arabian horses and at one point was ranked 4th in the United States and Canada for sidesaddle.

What You’ll Find Me Doing in My Free Time:

When I’m not with my husband, son or dog Manny, I’m likely on the courts playing tennis or pickleball.
