About Me
As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing exceptional and compassionate care to all patients. I thrive in the fast-paced environment of the emergency department, where quick, critical thinking is essential. The emergency room serves as a vital safety net for our community, offering round-the-clock care to anyone in need. I am passionate about the teamwork that defines emergency medicine, and I excel when collaborating with colleagues to achieve the best outcomes for our patients.
I specialize in emergency medical services (EMS) and disaster medicine, areas that allow me to blend my clinical expertise with my interest in operational management and medical education. With a background in supply chain management, I bring a unique perspective to my role as an assistant EMS medical director at NYU Langone. In this capacity, I work alongside dedicated professionals to ensure our prehospital providers receive top-notch training, ultimately enhancing the quality of care across all spectrums for our communities.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement and the importance of continuous learning and improvement. My work in emergency medicine has provided me with the opportunity to meet patients and families during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. My commitment is to deliver the highest standard of care, treating each patient with the same compassion and dedication I would want for my own family. I am grateful for the opportunity to work at NYU Langone, where I can collaborate with a diverse team to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for our patients.
