a little about me

I grew up in Beaver Falls, PA with an amazing family and attended South Elementary School, Beaver Valley Christian Academy, Beaver Falls Middle School and Beaver Falls High School. Growing up, I was a member of the Tabernacle Baptist Church and enjoyed playing on the Beaver Falls Girls’ basketball team (we were good!). From a young age, I loved science and the study of the human body. My family and community supported my dream of becoming a doctor, and I am eternally grateful for that love. 

I studied for many years at Yale University, Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Pennsylvania, and I have enjoyed working as an educator, researcher and medical dermatologist in resilient communities, medical centers, and universities. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, studying holy writings, nature jogs, practicing yoga, traveling, meditation, delicious vegetarian food and meeting new people! 

I am so excited to serve and partner with the Beaver County communities. My goal is to offer the same love and care that was given to me. 

With gratitude and kindness,
