In 2017 she returned home to Maryland where she began working in private practice in Frederick and Montgomery County. Out of academic medicine for the first time, she began to see the variety of ways people can practice the same specialty. She strives to put each patient at ease in order to obtain their story, provides thorough evaluation and counseling, believes patients deserve communication that is honest and direct, and that humor is an invaluable tool in medicine and in life. She looks forward to joining the dedicated team at Capital Women’s Care while she continues to experience all the boating, biking, breweries, food, music and arts that the DMV has to offer!
