I practice full spectrum family medicine including obstetrics at Bethesda Family Medicine Clinic in St Paul. My clinical passions include providing prenatal and obstetrical care, geriatrics and end of life care, and treating overlapping chronic disease and mental health in refugees and immigrants. My research and professional interests focus on local population health interventions, including building community partnerships, improving patient education, and developing physician advocates.
