I grew up in Rockland County, in Valley Cottage, New York.  My undergraduate years were spent at Fairfield University, where I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.  After college I attended medical school at New York Medical College and then completed my pediatric residency at Mt Sinai Medical Center in New York.

 

In 2004 I moved back to Connecticut to join Stamford Pediatrics.

 

I have enjoyed teaching first year medical students from New York Medical College in the office as a way of giving back to my alma mater.

 

Especially since both of my children have been diagnosed with various allergies, I have a special interest in the area of prevention and diagnosis of allergies.  I am also particularly interested in nutrition and fitness.

 

I live in Norwalk with my husband, Matt, and children, Mason and Nolan.  I spend my time outside the office trying to keep up with my very energetic sons and when I get some free time I enjoy yoga, pilates, running, traveling, or curling up with a good book.
