I am an internist, geriatrician and palliative care physician. I doctor, teach, write and advocate at the intersections between health, the criminal justice system, and human rights. My clinical work is primarily with people who are unhoused and justice-involved elders, especially people who are recurrently incarcerated in the final decades of their lives. I also sit on the New York City Board of Correction.

I grew up in Toronto and now live in Brooklyn with my husband and two kids. I studied History at Brown University and completed medical training at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and the Cambridge Health Alliance in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
