Biography

As an Assistant Professor in Palliative Medicine, it is an honor to provide excellent care to patients during serious illness. I work with patients and their families to provide care for the whole person, with particular focus on alleviating symptom burden and coordination of complex care. I address all aspects of a person’s health, and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team consisting of counselors, chaplains, social workers, and pharmacists to provide excellent and comprehensive care. I enjoy active clinical teaching on inpatient rounds with students, residents, and fellows about palliative care and the art of being a great palliative care consultant.
