The purpose of life is to live with purpose.

WHAT IS YOUR STORY OF SUCCESS?

I started out studying pre med at Rutgers University in NJ and went to medical school and internal medicine training in Pennsylvania. I applied and matched into allergy and immunology fellowship at Boston Medical Center. I graduated in 2019 and joined faculty at UMASS – Worcester where I was an Assistant Professor of Medicine, Co - Director of the Allergy Clinic and taught students and trainees.. In 2020 after COVID I decided to move to Sarasota with my new husband to work at a private practice. While the people I worked with were amazing - I was not happy working for someone else, so I decided to leave and start my own office. With the help of my incredible husband, father-in-law and countless other family members, we renovated a building in North Port and opened Sunshine Allergy and Asthma! I am incredibly grateful to be trusted and welcomed by the local primary care doctors and pediatricians as well as the people. Opening my office has been the best decision I have ever made and serving the community around it has been my greatest honor.

WHAT IS YOUR “SECRET SAUCE”?

Resilience and Honesty.

DESCRIBE YOUR OWN OUTLOOK ON LIFE IN SIX WORDS.

Embrace uncertainty, be present, find joy.

EVERY DAY I AM THANKFUL FOR... a supportive family and circle of friends who always believe in me. “
