Why did you join FIGHT?

I share the same objectives as FIGHT’s mission: provide our patients with a longer, better, and meaningful quality of life.

Explain what you do at FIGHT.

I am a healthcare provider and the principal investigator on clinical research trials. I’m also the director of the Hepatitus C-HIV Clinic and the director of the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Committee. I am an attending physician in the Infectious Diseases department at Presbyterian Medical Center and am a medical instructor for students and residents from the University of Pennsylvania.

Working for an AIDS service organization can be hard. What keeps you motivated?

An ASO offers a great opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives, especially those who need it the most!
