Biography
I am an experienced hospitalist and medical educator with a focus on health equity, hospital operations, graduate medical education, faculty development, and global health. My clinical work has been with urban marginalized populations in Boston, while my international work has focused on strengthening educational systems. I have served as a medical director or associate program director since 2016, including coordinating the floor teams throughout BMC's COVID-19 surges, and am presently the Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs for the Department of Medicine.
