Having grown up in a dual physician household, I have always wanted to pursue medicine in order to improve people’s lives. My love for science and discovery steered me to becoming a physician-scientist, with the capabilities to impact individual lives while asking questions that have the potential to improve the lives of many. As a clinical trialist, I am fortunate to see patients in my personal clinic and as participants in our clinical trials, as seeing patients brings me an enormous amount of joy. In my own clinic, I strive to identify personalized approaches for my patients by marrying data with individual needs to provide the best care. I believe strongly in shared decision making with all the available information, as frequently there may not be one right answer. Compassion is at the center of my practice. My research focuses on type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Though I truly love all diabetes, I am particularly interested in diabetes care in people with chronic kidney disease and atypical forms of diabetes. When I am not doing research or seeing patients, I am running around after my three young children (and my husband). If I have time, I love to bake, read, and walk with friends.
