About Me
I work as an attending physician in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) and on the inpatient pulmonary consult service at NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital. In this capacity, I treat patients with respiratory failure, sepsis, and other life-threatening conditions that require hospital admission. I am dedicated to providing high-quality, individualized care to my patients and their families as they go through the difficult experience of being hospitalized.
In addition to taking care of patients, I am a leader in medical education. As a firm chief and the assistant director of the Internal Medicine Clerkship at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, I help educate and mentor our next generation of physicians. I am also a core faculty member of the Pulmonary & Critical Care Fellowship and a faculty fellow at the NYU Center for Empathy in Medicine, where I am creating a curriculum that teaches empathy to medical trainees.
It is an honor to care for patients at NYU Langone and to teach some of the brightest medical trainees in the country. Since joining NYU Langone in 2021, I have been honored with multiple accolades, including Critical Care Teacher of the Year, Physician Collaborator of the Year, and a Distinguished Service Award. It is my hope that these awards reflect my dedication to patient care and medical education at our institution and beyond.
