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 Program Director, I am a PBL facilitator and teach Medical Ethics and other courses within the didactic year. I worked clinically at the University of Pittsburgh in HIV clinical research and currently serve on the Tri-State Gender Collaboration and the Pittsburgh Area Bioethics Council. I live in the East End area with my husband and two children and enjoy doing outdoor activities and attending various University of Pittsburgh athletic events.
