Greetings to each and every patient at Case Integrative Health! It's with great excitement (and a deep passion for wellness) that I begin my journey here as the Director of Wellness Optimization and Longevity, I look forward to joining this incredible team on our shared mission to redefine healthcare.
My academic journey began at the University of Illinois, where I earned my degree in bioengineering. The complexities of systems and the elegance of optimization – these concepts were embedded in my engineering roots and
serve me to this day. Following graduation, I took a hiatus to ponder my next educational move- Ph.D. or Med School. During that time, I immersed myself in the study of philosophy and threw myself into yoga and surfing (which I still enjoy)!

My background in bioengineering instilled in me an understanding of a systems-based approach, while my studies of yoga and philosophy reminded me of the importance of the human being itself. In my pursuit of knowledge and a desire to merge the worlds of science and holistic wellness, I began medical school at the Midwestern University School of Osteopathic Medicine. Inspired by the osteopathic philosophy, I navigated a residency program in family medicine at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL, emerging as a board-certified family physician.
Throughout my medical school and residency journey, I began to recognize a pattern of Western medicine that focuses only on the disease instead of the patient as a whole. This realization fueled my desire to explore integrative medicine further. I trained with the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine and attained my Functional Medicine certification.
During my Integrative and Functional Medicine training, I have come to appreciate just how
much my background serves me. From studying bioengineering, I have a deep understanding of complex systems and a respect for utility. On the other hand, yoga has become more than a personal passion; it is a guiding philosophy. It inspired me to view healthcare through a lens that embraces both the complexity of multi-system interactions and the simplicity of individual well-being. This marriage of perspectives is at the heart of my approach to integrative medicine.
