Professional Experience
​
I have 15 years of experience as a registered nurse and nurse practitioner in a multitude of specialties and settings from cardiology, internal medicine, rheumatology to men's health, and obesity medicine. Besides being a practicing clinician, I've also coached groups and dozens of individuals looking to optimize their health through sustainable, evidence-backed weight loss.
​
My Interests
​
My academic interests include diabetes prevention, obesity, and metabolic disease. The last three years of my academic and professional life have been hyper-focused on understanding the impact of lifestyle (nutrition, sleep, physical activity, etc.) on aging, obesity, and metabolic health.
I strongly believe in a precision approach to weight loss and health optimization; there is no one size fits all solution. This personalized, evidence-based approach to health should be the fundamental backbone of anyone's wellness plan.
Accolades
​
I am a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioner, Obesity Medicine Association, the Obesity Society, and the American Academy of Lifestyle Medicine. I am a Jonas Nurse Leader scholar. I have been a guest on NYU Doctor Radio and presented research at multiple national nurse research conferences.

Disclaimer
I am a nurse practitioner, but I am not your nurse practitioner. Even though I am a medical professional, my posts are for information purposes only and shouldn't be seen as specific health information tailored for you. Every person is different and carries different health risks; likewise, every health care practitioner may have a different way of doing things. My content is not substitute for personalized medical advice. Always consult your personal medical provider to treat for any health concerns or issues you may be having. I make every effort to share highest quality, evidence-based research but realize that medicine is a constantly changing science and art. There are also a multitude of considerations to take into account when considering treatment for any disease. I do not consider myself an expert (nor am I a recognized expert) in any particular field of medicine - like every academic worth their salt, I am constantly learning and evolving.
