Short Biography:
I grew up in the suburbs of Boston and attended the University of Massachusetts Medical School. After med school, I moved to Nashville, TN for pediatrics residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Following residency, I worked in the pediatric emergency department at the Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt where I realized the need for high-quality pediatric urgent care centers. In 2022, I moved to Oklahoma City to open Care+ Pediatrics Urgent Care.
