Bio

Why I chose a career in CT surgery: I chose a career in CT surgery because I found the physiology of the chest to be the most interesting in my studies. I also wanted to be able to have a large impact in the care for my patients. The specialty is challenging and demands physical and mental excellence.

Why I chose IU School of Medicine: I chose IUSM for my training because the institution offers a well-rounded training environment in both thoracic and cardiac surgery with excellent exposure to congenital as well. It is my goal to become well-trained in all aspects of the specialty.

Professional/ Research Interests: Adult cardiac, Aortic, Heart Failure, Congenital 

Personal Interests: Running, Adventurous Food and Travel
