As an infectious Disease, addiction medicine, and internal medicine physician, I enjoy partnering with patients and their families to develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans. I am also a clinician investigator at the Center for Interdisciplinary Population and Health Research (CIPHR) where my current research focuses on the intersection between substance use disorders and infectious diseases. In addition to my clinical and research work, I am an active member of national professional societies and spend time advocating for policies and initiatives that improve the health of our communities.
