I'm a family physician and writer based in Philadelphia. You can read some of my work here.

My writing has appeared on NPR, in the New York Times, the Atlantic,  the Philadelphia Inquirer, STAT News, and elsewhere. 

Please check out my newsletter, Chief Complaint, for more reflections on medicine, parenting, gender, and fatphobia.

I worked in public health in Tanzania and Malawi before returning home to attend medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. I stayed at Penn for residency training in Family Medicine and Community Health. I was the 2018-2019 Health & Media Fellow at National Public Radio and Georgetown University School of Medicine.

I am now on the faculty at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden, NJ, where I serve as a primary care physician for patients of all ages and teach medical students.
