Additional Information
I am a primary care physician at Windsor Health Center in Cambridge.

I chose pediatrics because I am interested in working with whole families, both children and parents. I enjoy seeing families over time as babies become children and then young adults. Being a constant presence in a family’s life is the greatest privilege.

A big influence in my decision to become a pediatrician was my experience doing public health projects during my medical training.  Working with families in other countries has made me appreciate different cultural ideas about health.  I had the chance to perform a health needs census in Machala, Ecuador and carried out a public health project in Bombay, India.  I also had the opportunity to work in Sri Lanka after the Tsunami in a mobile pediatric clinic. Getting to work with families from different backgrounds, countries and cultures is a constant source of excitement in my work at CHA

More locally, I am pleased to be able to work as the Coordinator for Reach out and Read at Windsor, a program that provides books to our patients and promotes literacy. I also work as a consultant for a local Boys and Girls Club.

Outside of work you may see me biking around Somerville and Cambridge. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with my two young children and family.
