About

Biography

I specialize in medical dermatology and inflammatory skin diseases. My research and academic interests focus on advancing the understanding, diagnosis and management of conditions including bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, lichen planus and dermatitis.

As a dermatologist and educator, I am committed to improving care for patients with complex dermatologic conditions while advancing education and scholarship in dermatology. My work centers on medical dermatology, with a particular interest in diseases that affect patients' quality of life and require multidisciplinary, evidence-based care.

Education is a core part of my academic mission. I serve as vice chair of education in the Department of Dermatology and as division director of Medical Dermatology. In these roles, I help support the education and professional development of medical students, residents and trainees while fostering learning environments that encourage clinical excellence, curiosity and lifelong learning.

Through my clinical, educational and academic efforts, I strive to advance the field of dermatology and contribute to the training of the next generation of physicians and physician-scientists.
