She has been the Clinical Director of Pediatric and Adolescent at Boston’s Children Primary Care clinic at Martha Eliot for the past decade, combining a busy clinical practice and administrative responsibilities.

She obtained her medical degree from George Washington University Medical School in Washington, DC and completed her pediatric residency at Children’s National Medical Center, also in Washington, DC.
