Resident Bio
I grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and received my medical education in Houston. While I have spent majority of my life in the south, I am very excited to be moving to the East Coast to start my residency. I chose GW Surgery because of the excellent clinical training, graduated surgical autonomy, strong emphasis on resident and medical student education, opportunity for research, and tight-knit resident atmosphere. In addition, I look forward to exploring the DMV area, learning about its’ culture and diversity, and experiencing all it has to offer!
