Instructor
School of Health and Medical Sciences
It is essential that we produce clinicians who are skilled in leadership as well as clinical medicine
Profile
I graduated from the joint Seton Hall/UMDNJ Physician Assistant Program in 1999. Following graduation, I worked in open heart surgery with Cardiothoracic Surgery of South Bend in South Bend, IN. During this time I gained experience in vein harvesting and postoperative patient management. I returned to New Jersey in 2001 to pursue my true love: emergency medicine.
After serving as a clinical preceptor in the emergency department, I joined the full-time faculty at Seton Hall in 2003. Since then, it has been an honor to witness the great contributions our graduates have made to healthcare. My teaching interests include preventive medicine, cardiovascular medicine, and physical diagnosis.
