Overview

My interest in becoming a doctor can be traced to elementary school when every kid is asked what they want to be when they grow up. Surgery became a clear career decision because it provided instant results and changes in my patients' condition. To this day, I still get excited about going to the operating room and being able to immediately affect the lives of my patients. I specifically enjoy reconstructive surgery and hope to help people who suffer from congenital disorders, cancer, and trauma. My clinical interests include complex oncologic microsurgical reconstruction from head to toe. Additionally, I am interested in both dynamic and static facial reanimation procedures for adult and pediatric patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time and traveling with friends and family.
