What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, values diversity, and promotes community health.

I am a passionate medical director with extensive experience in direct patient care and clinical quality improvement. Currently, I serve as the Medical Director at UF Health New Berlin Family, where I supervise advanced practice providers and oversee clinical operations. My commitment to enhancing patient care is evident through my leadership in multidisciplinary teams and strategic planning initiatives.

Throughout my career, I have focused on serving underserved communities, exemplified by my role at UF Health Lem Turner Family Medicine Clinic, where I managed a diverse team and implemented procedures to maintain high standards of care. My background also includes significant contributions to community health, including founding a non-profit organization in South Africa that supports orphans affected by HIV/AIDS.

With a Master of Public Health and a strong foundation in family medicine, I am dedicated to mentoring the next generation of medical professionals and advocating for diversity and equity in healthcare. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the medical field.
