Clinical and Research Interests: Endocrine Oncology, Pituitary, Adrenal, and Thyroid disease
Personal Interests: Sports enthusiast, travel/road trips, watching documentaries, new experiences

Growing up in the Northeast I always enjoyed the city life and all that it entails such as the food, endless activities, embracing different cultures, and meeting new people. These experiences had an impact on my life and made me the person I am today. New Orleans has a big presence with a unique culture and truly makes me feel at home. Being in medicine allowed me the opportunity to meet and connect with people while forming strong interpersonal relationships. In my spare time I enjoy exploring/traveling, learning about different cultures, listening to music, going to museums, walks in parks, acquiring new hobbies, and trying out the latest restaurants. I look forward to my New Orleans journey where I get to fully embrace the city, the people and all it has to offer. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Ochsner family where I will grow as a physician and not only build strong connections but give back to the community by providing optimal health care.

Clinical Interests: Insulin pump management, calcium and bone metabolism disorders, thyroid cancer
Research Interests: Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease, Adrenal Insufficiency and the rare complications
Personal Interests: Outside of medicine, I enjoy staying active through exercising, exploring new cuisines, and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures, especially through food and local history.

I am a first-year Endocrinology fellow at Ochsner Health. I completed my internal medicine residency at Florida State University - Lee Health program in Cape Coral, Florida. There I developed a strong foundation in comprehensive chronic disease management. During residency, I became especially drawn to the complexity and nuance of endocrine disorders. I’m excited to continue growing as a clinician in this dynamic field and to contribute meaningfully to patient-centered care at Ochsner.

Clinical and Research Interests: Diabetes technology, thyroid disease, pituitary
Personal Interests: Traveling! I've officially visited all continents (except Antarctica). I also love going to art museums. The impressionist and post-impressionist periods are my favorite. My most-loved museum is Musée d'Orsay in Paris. I also love reading fantasy and watching Sci-Fi shows.

As an oil baby I grew up all over the world and got to experience various cultures. I knew I wanted to eventually settle down in a city with robust diversity and New Orleans fulfilled that wish for me. The city has great soul, music, food, and most importantly people. I went to undergrad at UNO, medical school at LSU-NOLA and internal medicine residency at Ochsner. I knew I wanted to stay in my beloved city for fellowship and luckily for me, our Ochsner Endocrinology program is one of the best. We have incredibly talented and knowledgeable faculty and are exposed to patients with quite a wide array of pathology (it helps being a quaternary center). Can't ask for something better than this.
