My journey in medicine began at Boston College, where engaging philosophical discussions with Jesuit professors ignited my lifelong creativity and curiosity. I graduated with honors, earning a dual degree in Biology and History.
I then pursued graduate studies on the West Coast at U.C. Santa Barbara, completing a master’s thesis in genetics and earning a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology with high honors. During this time, I taught over 10 science courses, sharpening my communication skills and solidifying my calling to medicine.
I returned to the East Coast for medical school at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. Medical school was transformative, weaving together decades of intellectual curiosity into a deep understanding of human health. I thrived on those breakthrough “aha!” moments, which helped me truly grasp the blueprint of human physiology.
This foundation led me to Internal Medicine residency at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, where I discovered a passion for preventive care and deepened my lifelong commitment to health, fitness, and nutrition—interests rooted in my childhood love of sports and exercise science. During residency, I earned my Certified Personal Trainer credential from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and achieved board certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
Since completing residency, I have focused on redefining primary care by blending evidence-based Western medicine with integrative approaches. I pursued advanced training and certification through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) to expand my toolkit for optimizing health and wellness. My current passion lies in leveraging AI and cutting-edge technology to transform diagnostic testing, enabling personalized risk assessment for cardiovascular health, cancer screening, metabolic optimization, and fitness performance.
Having seen the full spectrum of medicine, I remain dedicated to the power of genuine presence and connection. In a field that can sometimes feel routine, I am committed to partnering with patients who seek more—more vitality, more prevention, and truly personalized care.
I look forward to helping you achieve your health goals!
