Summary

I'm a geriatric and palliative nephrologist, passionate about caring for patients and their families as they navigate serious illnesses, including advanced kidney disease and kidney failure.Getting to know my patients and ensuring they receive high-quality, evidence-based care that aligns with their goals is incredibly rewarding.I meet patients and families where they are and provide supportive guidance to help them make informed decisions.My research focuses on the care of older adults with kidney disease (geriatric nephrology). I'm particularly interested in understanding how and why kidney disease is more prevalent in women and in different regions of the country.
