About
Biography
I am a clinical neuropsychologist and an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in the neuropsychological assessment of individuals across the lifespan, with a primary focus on older adults, and expertise in age-related cognitive changes as well as neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal degeneration, and movement disorders. In my clinical work, I prioritize high-quality, compassionate care and clear, honest communication with patients and families, supporting cognitive health through both assessment and targeted interventions.
My experience in academic medicine has deepened my commitment to helping individuals better understand and support their cognitive health. Teaching and collaboration are central to my work and shape how I approach clinical care and research. In practice, my work is guided by curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to improving cognitive health in patients’ everyday lives.
I work closely with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to provide personalized, evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s unique needs and values. In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am actively engaged in research focused on cognitive health and am committed to mentoring the next generation of providers.
