I am an infectious disease specialist at Memorial Healthcare System. I diagnose and treat patients with a variety of contagious and communicable diseases, including HIV and Hepatitis C.

Throughout my research and career, I have seen that HIV and other communicable diseases affect certain socioeconomic groups disproportionately. I am passionate about serving these vulnerable populations and understanding the social impact of these medical illnesses.

I was drawn to working with patients with infectious diseases because of the intersection between society and medicine. Often, you can predict and track the path of illnesses by understanding a community’s social habits. I enjoy working with a comprehensive team to understand the patterns of particular diseases and educating people to keep them safe.

In addition to caring for patients, I am also passionate about teaching. I enjoy working with residents and guiding their learning. Prior to joining Memorial, I worked at Florida Atlantic University where I served as an assistant professor of clinical biomedical science, associate program director of the internal medicine residency, and was director of the Resident Continuity Clinic.

I have also worked for Broward Community & Family Health Centers, where I directed the Ryan White HIV Program and served as a primary care provider for adults and children. I also am involved in research regarding quality improvement healthcare initiatives and medical treatment for patients living with HIV.
