I attended Smith College in Northampton Massachusetts, part of the beautiful pioneer valley. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and a major in chemistry. I studied medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City where I discovered my passion for pediatrics. I completed pediatrics residency in the Bronx at The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore. I am board certified by the American Board of Pediatric. I chose to be a primary care physician because I cherish the close relationships that develop with patients and their families over the years of well and sick visits.  Medically my interests include: well child care, child development, vaccines, and harm reduction focused in gun violence prevention.
