Assistant Professor
Department of Internal Medicine, Rush Medical College
Role: Faculty, Clinician
Joined Rush in 7/1/2005 (resident); 8/1/2012 (faculty)
I am a faculty member in Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Palliative Medicine. I completed medical school, my Internal Medicine residency and the Pulmonary & Critical Care Fellowship at Rush. I completed the Hospice and Palliative Care Medicine Fellowship at Northwestern. My areas of clinical & academic interest are at the intersection of palliative care and critical care or pulmonary medicine.
My mentors, throughout my training, have encouraged me and challenged me to seek out my specific areas of personal interest. I love the detail and complexity of Critical Care and the humanistic aspects of Palliative Care.
The people I work with at Rush. My colleagues, trainees, and patients are the best part of my job.
Mentoring is absolutely essential to growing as a professional.
Seek what you love.
I love playing volleyball and exploring Chicago.
