What I Do
I am a general and acute care surgeon with expertise in trauma, emergency general surgery and surgical critical care. In my role, I strive to deliver timely, individualized patient care that prioritizes patient safety, clear communication and teamwork. I am committed to providing excellent care with a focus on optimizing recovery and long-term outcomes.
My clinical interests include advancing chest wall injury management and providing high-quality elective and acute abdominal surgery.
I have coauthored more than 20 academic papers, four book chapters and 33 abstracts.
Why I Love My Work
I was drawn to medicine to help people in their most vulnerable moments. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where trauma, emergency surgery and critical care let me combine technical skill, quick thinking and compassion to support patients and families during their hardest days.

My interests outside of work include being outdoors, biking, hiking and snowboarding. I also enjoy traveling and meeting new people!
