BIOGRAPHY

I received my Master's of Physician Assistant Studies from Chatham College in 2006 and have worked in neurosurgery, orthopedics, and HIV medicine. I joined Chatham University in 2013 as full-time faculty after being involved with the program through various ways. Along with being the Associate Program Director, I am a PBL facilitator and teach Medical Ethics and Topics in Clinical Medicine. I work clinically at the University of Pittsburgh in HIV clinical research and serve on the Tri-State Gender Collaboration and the Pittsburgh Area Bioethics Council. I live with my husband and two children in Edgewood and enjoy doing outside activities and attending various Pittsburgh sports games.
