I’m passionate about what I do. I truly care about patients and work collaboratively with colleagues to provide the best treatments. It’s a good day when I listen and provide emotional support. Giving patients the opportunity to express themselves is one of the greatest joys during my workday. After hearing their emotions and needs, I can provide feedback and resources, and am confident that my input and suggestions help. Born and raised in Union City, New Jersey, I have a keen understanding when patients express things about our city. I decided to go into social work because I can support individuals’ mental and emotional health and be part of a profession with values that align with mine. Social work also gives me the opportunity to support and empower individuals when they feel alone. When I take off my coat, I enjoy exercising and taking time for myself. I love to try new workout classes with friends.
