Brief Bio:
I grew up in Philadelphia, PA. After college I spent two years in Guinea, West Africa
in the Peace Corps doing public health education. It was my time in West Africa that
drove me to pursue a career in medicine. During my third year clerkship I fell in
love with trauma surgery and I have not looked back. For me, it is a great honor to
be able to care for patients on a daily basis and train the next generation of surgeons.
