I am a primary care physician, teacher and writer. After graduating from Wesleyan University in 2004, I joined Teach for America and taught middle school math in St. Louis for three years. Afterwards, I attended UMASS Medical School and then trained in Internal Medicine at Boston Medical Center. After training, I completed a fellowship in Rural Health through Mass General Hospital, where I worked for two years as a physician in Rosebud, South Dakota. At this time, I earned my MPH from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

I have taught middle school math, and at the high school level taught physics, math and Advanced Placement Statistics. At the college level, I have taught many undergraduate courses in the BU Prison Education Program, as well as Massasoit Prison Education Program. After medical training, I went back to school to obtain my Masters of Education degree from BU.

Currently I have a number of teaching roles: I run a full-year course in Pharmacology to physician assistant students at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), teach as an adjunct instructor at MGH Institute of Health Professions, and am teaching an undergraduate course in genetics through the Massasoit Prison Education Program.

In my medical roles, I maintain a primary care practice at Commonwealth Care Alliance, work as an on-call physician for the Insted program, see patients at Bridgewater State Hospital, and am the Medical Director of a Skilled Nursing Facility through the organization Curana Health.

I am currently working on a book on the history and science of blood pressure.
