About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy is to provide compassionate informative care such that a patient will be able to make informed decisions about her medical care. I hope to build solid relationship with my patients, and let this be the foundation of their care.

Why I entered medicine

I chose to go into the field of OB/GYN as it would allow me to help take care of women throughout their entire life spectrum of gynecology needs. From a personal standpoint, this field of medicine allows me to have a varied work day, from seeing patients in the office to being in the operating room to helping deliver babies, which I enjoy immensely. The best part of my job is to be able to bear witness and be a small part in helping bring life into this world. Being able to be a part of this process with the delivering mothers and their families is an amazing honor and privilege.

Community involvement

Before moving to the Lehigh Valley, I helped run a free medical clinic in Massachusetts and I was a volunteer EMT in Lancaster County.

Personal interests

I enjoy running after my 18-month-old nephew and my new rescue puppy. My other interests include hiking, traveling and reading. In my past life, I was a drummer.
