About
Biography
I am a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine’s Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at The Ohio State University. In addition to treating patients with interstitial lung disease and critical illness, I am focused on advancing health equity in the care of chronic lung disease through research. My current work examines access to care for patients with interstitial lung disease and sarcoidosis and I have published multiple peer-reviewed journal articles pertaining to pulmonary fibrosis and other chronic pulmonary conditions.
Prior to joining faculty at Ohio State, I received a master’s degree in teaching science from New York University as well as a master’s degree in clinical research from the University of Virginia. I earned my MD from the SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University College of Medicine in Brooklyn, N.Y., and completed a pulmonary and critical care fellowship at the University of Colorado.
