Overview
I am a native of Southern California; I attended Cornell University where I played both baseball and football. During my tenure, we were Ivy League Champions in baseball and competed at the College World Series. After college I spent time working in finance before returning to school to complete a Master's Degree in Human Nutrition and Biochemical Sciences. I concurrently worked in the Irving Cancer Research Center at Columbia University studying bladder cancer cell lines. I attended medical school at Tulane University where I developed an interest in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. I went on to complete my residency training at the University of California, San Francisco, which is considered one of the top hospitals in California. I chose University of Michigan for my Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship because of the incredible training opportunity and the amazing people.
