Personal Statement

I am dually trained in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics with further sub specialization in Pediatric Endocrinology. My breadth of training experience allows me to focus on the care of young adults including those who need to transition their care from a pediatric to an adult provider. My special interest is in metabolic health including diabetes mellitus and obesity/overweight, where I believe a highly personalized approach to care is needed for patients accounting for their unique biological and social circumstances. I am also passionate about research and currently work on improving our understanding of pancreatic beta cell biology with the ultimate goal of developing better cell therapies that can provide a cure for insulin-deficient diabetes mellitus.
