Born and raised in New Jersey, I have always appreciated the diversity that makes our communities unique, and that background inspired my passion for Family Medicine, where I can care for patients of all ages while building meaningful, long-term relationships with individuals and families. I am especially interested in women’s health and value the opportunity to provide comprehensive care throughout every stage of a woman’s life while also caring for the entire family. I enjoy the variety that Family Medicine offers, from preventive care to chronic disease management, and the chance to make a lasting impact on my patients’ lives. Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Medical Center stood out to me because of its commitment to serving the diverse Montclair community. Just as importantly, from the moment I interviewed, the program truly felt like a family. The welcoming, supportive culture and strong sense of camaraderie made it clear that this is a place where residents are encouraged to learn, grow, and support one another. It is an honor to continue my medical training in the state that has always been home, and I look forward to serving the community that shaped me.
