Biography:
I have invested my entire training career to best prepare me to successfully embark on a career in Acute Care/ Trauma Surgery and Surgical Intensive Care. I am well trained with a focus on the expertise in trauma/critical care. Both my career and personal experiences have provided me with a solid foundation in academic trauma surgery and critical care. I have obtained general surgical residency training at a Level 1 ACS-verified trauma center that provided exposure to a high volume of complex patients. I have a strong desire to focus on Acute Care/ Trauma Surgery and Surgical Critical Care, and I have been actively been involved in surgical research during my residency and fellowship.
