Bio Type: Addiction Fellowship

I grew up in Orlando, Florida. While my family is still in Florida, and I love visiting them, Philadelphia has become my adopted home. I went to undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania where I majored in Biological Basis of Behavior and minored in Deaf Studies. While I was at Penn, I worked for the Viral Hepatitis Prevention Program in the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. This experience sparked my interest in harm reduction and addiction medicine. After graduating I spent a year as a research assistant at Philadelphia FIGHT. I worked on studies focusing on adolescent sexual health and attitudes toward PrEP.

I went to medical school at Temple, and I was in the combined MD/MA program in Urban Bioethics. My thesis was an ethical analysis of safe supply, an emerging harm reduction strategy. I chose family medicine because I saw the impact primary care can make on patients’ lives. I was active in student clinics at Prevention Point, Students for a National Health Program, and Medical Students for Choice.

I was drawn to Jefferson Family Medicine because of their involvement in the community. I am interested in addiction medicine, HIV, and adolescent health. Outside of medicine, I love all Philly sports, bad reality TV, and spending time with my husband and our spoiled cat, Peanut.

I am looking forward to learning to become a family physician over the next three years with such an amazing group of co-interns!
