Summary

  • I am a board certified pediatrician with a passion for palliative care.

    I attended Colby College in Maine where, as team captain, I was part of the men’s rugby team championship season. After a year of service with AmeriCorps followed by work at a health insurance company, I enrolled at Tulane University School of Medicine where I graduated with an MPH and a MD in May 2020.

    After that, I served as a pediatric resident physician at UPMC Children’s Hospital in their Pediatric Advocacy, Leadership, and Service (PALS) track. I recently completed a Pediatric Hospice & Palliative Medicine Fellowship with The University of Kansas Medical Center and Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. In December, I will join, as an Attending Physician, the Pediatric Diagnostic Referral Service at Nemours Children's Hospital in Delaware and serve as an Assistant Professor at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College.
