As a primary care provider, I am often a patient’s first point of contact when it comes to health preservation, illness prevention and chronic disease management. My goal is to use evidence-based practices to educate patients and provide them with the knowledge needed to support their health journey.

In my specific role as Medical Director at Bates Health Services, I hope to apply this same knowledge and experience to support students on campus as they navigate their health and academic success.
