Biography

After graduating from The College of New Jersey with my BS in Biology, I attended Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine for undergraduate medical education. After graduating with my DO in 2016, I completed an Internal Medicine internship at Walter Reed from 2016-2017. I continued my training in Internal Medicine at Naval Medical Center San Diego (Balboa), before undergoing fellowship training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine also at Balboa. Upon completion of fellowship training, I returned to Walter Reed for my first staff tour in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (2022). While concurrently serving as core faculty for the Pulmonary department, I have also taken on the additional role of Deputy Chief of Medicine for the Department of Medicine.
