My Journey in Medicine

I was attracted to dermatology because it’s such a versatile field of medicine. It allows me to combine multiple specialties in one: general medicine, surgery, pathology, rheumatology, infectious disease, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Because of this, the specialty is ever-evolving and fulfilling.

I specialize in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, including injectables and laser dermatology. At my practice in Philadelphia, we treat a wide variety of skin conditions, such as acne, actinic keratoses, alopecia areata, atopic dermatitis, and benign skin growths.

My career has brought me to exciting projects around the world — I’ve done research and volunteered in New York, London, South Africa, Malawi, and Australia, which was amazing for me because I simply love to travel!

I also enjoy giving helpful advice to people through various online platforms. For instance, I’ve been featured as a skin care expert by Women’s Health Magazine, Byrdie, and Cosmopolitan. At Flo, I advise on different dermatological topics to help our millions of users achieve their skin goals.
