Biography

Bio

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences. I earned my undergraduate degree in cell and molecular biology (Magna Cum Laude) from the University of Minnesota Duluth and completed my psychiatric residency at the U of M. I further went through a Consult-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, which focused on perinatal psychiatry, psycho-oncology, addiction work, and transplant psychiatry.

Within my role, I will be practicing primarily at the hospital on the East Bank, doing inpatient consult liaison psychiatry, including a half-day clinic every week working with the Women’s Wellbeing Team. A key highlight of my job is working alongside medical students and residents within a clinical setting, plus being involved in the more formal didactic lectures given to second-year residents.
