Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology

I am the newest associate program director for the Penn neurology adult residency program, having joined in October 2020. I was lucky enough to have been a neurology resident and vascular fellow at Penn. I spent a year in Brooklyn working at NYU’s Brooklyn campus as a stroke attending, and now am back at Penn as a stroke neurologist and neuro-hospitalist.

My academic interests include addressing access to neurology care, both locally and globally. I have been working to expand Penn’s footprint in our local community, as well as developing Penn Neuorlogy’s global health program and initiatives. I attend at both the HUP main campus and Penn Presbyterian as a neuro-hospitalist for inpatient neurology care, and continue to see patients in my own personal outpatient stroke clinic. I also supervise in resident clinic, stroke urgent care clinic, and post stroke discharge clinic along with the residents.
