I have over a decade of experience as a board certified Internal Medicine physician. After completing my residency at the Ohio State University, I returned home to Michigan where I spent the first part of my career as a primary care doctor before venturing out of the clinic. First as an associated medical director for a company dedicated to improving the health of geriatic patients by offering on-demand, in-home urgent care visits and then as a physician for Virta.
Why I Love Being a Virta Provider: I have always been passionate about type 2 diabetes and metabolic health. In primary care, I often felt a sense of helplessness watching my patients’ diabetes progress despite faithfully taking their medicines. I joined Virta to focus on treating metabolic disease at its root cause. The satisfaction of empowering individuals to take control of their health with concrete, evidenced-based nutrition therapy is truly unmatched.
Fun Fact: I picked up volleyball as an adult. Over the fall/winter I play on an indoor league and during the summer my family plays beach volleyball.
