Resident Bio

I was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Bethesda, Maryland. I studied as an undergraduate in College Park, Maryland and attended medical school in Tel Aviv, Israel. I have strong interests in pediatric surgery and medical education. I am excited to begin my surgical residency at GW due to its excellent clinical training and research opportunities. I look forward to living in D.C. and becoming part of the GW surgery community.
