Where were you born and where did you grow up? I was born in Providence, RI, and grew up in a small town just outside of Providence.
Favorite way to spend a weekend or a Sunday afternoon? I love spending time in the garden and relaxing with Brian and our pups.
What excites you about your work at The Ivey and the contribution you make here? I’ve worked in pediatrics for most of my career. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the shift into geriatrics and being able to apply my knowledge and skill set to a whole new population. I enjoy being able to connect with members of the Ivey, listen to their stories, learn from them, and be a witness to their laughter and joy. It is an honor to be welcomed into their lives along their journey!
