I'm originally from the east coast, having lived most recently in the New York City area where I studied at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Despite my east coast roots, I have been completely enamored with Oregon since moving here for my residency at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). My domestic partner and I have a lovely daughter who we take with us on our outdoor adventures. For me, medicine is an incredibly rewarding career, especially emergency medicine, which allows me to care for a wide variety of patients and to continually challenge myself intellectually. It is a privilege to serve the patients who come to Kaiser Permanente for their care.
