Experienced healthcare executive with strengths in physician engagement, healthcare innovation, and value-based care. MBA and MS in Healthcare Management from Cornell University.
I completed my Medical Degree at Boston University, and residency in internal medicine at UCLA. I have over a decade of experience working as an internist with a focus on improving clinical, educational, and research efforts in perioperative care. I have held academic appointments at UCLA, Mount Sinai, Columbia University, and Cornell.
At New York-Presbyterian’s Columbia University campus I served as the Director of Medicine Consultation & Perioperative Services. I was subsequently recruited to Hospital for Special Surgery and served as the Medical Chief of the Spine Service for 7 years.
In 2020 I moved to Wisconsin to work as Regional Vice President of Medical Affairs at Marshfield Clinic Health System. I also served as Hospital Medicine Service Line Director for the nine hospitals within this organization, and co-chaired the system’s Health Equity Steering Committee.
Most recently I transitioned to Ascension to work as the Wisconsin market Chief Medical Officer.
