I am currently a family medicine resident practicing in Muncie, Indiana. I specialize in comprehensive health care for people of all ages. In addition to diagnosing and treating illnesses, family practitioners also put focus on preventative care with routine checkups, tests and personalized coaching on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I studied medicine in Indianapolis, Indiana where I learned immense general knowledge on maintaining health and how to provide more care for the underserved and rural populations than any other medical specialty. I am continuing my education as a resident physician at Indiana Health at Ball Memorial Hospital. I also provide pediatric and obsteteric care including deliveries at this location.
