My job as a physician assistant is to manage my patients’ primary care needs, providing patient-centered care. I go the extra mile for their well-being and when they have an urgent situation. I like listening to my patients and getting to know them, which helps me personalize their care. It’s a good day at work when I can answer all my patients’ questions, and they understand their care plan. I grew up in New Jersey and live in the Clifton area, happy to be near the town where I was raised. I chose to go into medicine to connect and serve my local community. I value holistic and naturopathic healing and learning. Passionate about good nutrition and healthy food, I enjoy cooking and baking and am interested in learning how to cook dishes from various cultures, particularly my patients’ favorite family recipes. When I’m not working or cooking, I’m training for a half-marathon and exploring other modes of fitness.
