I am a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and New York University School of Medicine. I currently work at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, a member of the faculty in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care & Bioethics. I am on the editorial board of The Pharos (poetry) and a Section Editor for Reproductive Biomedicine Online. I have won the Poem of the Year Award of the American College of Physicians and was the recipient of the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation in 2015. I am a member of the Board of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association and the Long island Poetry Collective, and the Poet Laureate of Suffolk County for 2021 – 2023. Imperfect Knowledge is my fifth published collection of poetry.
