Overview
I specialize in treating patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremors, dystonia, tics and cerebellar ataxia. I also apply botulinum toxin and deep brain stimulation for treating select movement disorders patients. My patients' questions and resilience inspires my research pursuits and drives me to advance therapies for movement disorders. I grew up in New York and have enjoyed settling down in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In my free time, I enjoy writing poetry, volunteering for charity work, and sightseeing.
