Although I was born in Rhode Island, Port Washington, New York was my home from infancy through young adulthood. My formative interests ranged from math and science to the performing arts (piano, singing, and musical theater) and painting.

During my college years at Princeton University, I pursued a degree in psychology. I have never strayed far from my Northeastern roots, attending college at New Jersey, medical school in Philadelphia, and residency in Providence, Rhode Island.

Following residency, I worked as the Urgent Care Physician for Hasbro Children's Hospital Emergency Department before joining NAP.

What brings me to Northampton? My husband, also a native New Yorker, fell in love with the Pioneer Valley while attending Hampshire College, and aside from his time in Providence where he accompanied me through residency, he has lived here ever since. It was fortuitous that just as we were looking to transition back to Northampton, an opening was available at NAP. Northampton presents a perfect blend of culture and nature, relaxation and excitement.

I love pediatrics because, although it’s intellectual dimensions involve science and diagnosis, it’s heart lies with children and families. Consistently I am impressed and amazed by your children and I feel fortunate to be a part of your lives.
