Training + Education
In 2002 I earned my bachelor’s degree from UMass, Amherst where I studied psychology. I then worked as an EMT locally for a few years with American Medical Response (AMR). I went back to PA school and in 2006 I earned my Master of Health Sciences degree from Drexel University in Philadelphia. For the first 15 years of my career, I specialized in Intensive Care. For five years I worked in the Cardiovascular ICU at Baystate. Then for 9 years I worked in the Medical ICU at Cooley Dickinson Hospital. It has been a wonderful and exciting career, and I carry with me everything that I have learned along the way. Over the past few years, I transitioned to Primary Care, and I love this side of medicine. The opportunity to connect with my patients on a more personal level is so rewarding.

My Philosophy
I really enjoy working with families in my own community. I love to help folks set & achieve goals. We are all in a different place along our growth journey, witnessing people strive to be better every day is such an inspiration. My patients have taught me that we are all much more alike and connected than we realize.
