The surgeon
Injury prevention, treatment, and the return to sport.
I studied Neuroscience at the University of Southern California, then attended medical school at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine. My residency in Orthopaedic Surgery continued at Rowan University, followed by a Sports Medicine fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis.
My medical journey led me to Emory University in Georgia, and today I focus on injury prevention, treatment, and return to sport for athletes.
The fighter
“Setbacks only fueled my comeback.”
Martial arts has been my lifelong companion.
Beyond the scalpel, martial arts has been my lifelong companion. From a 2nd-degree black belt in Kenpo to amateur boxing and Muay Thai, my journey converged with Jiu-Jitsu, where I proudly wear a brown belt.
In competition, I faced adversity — tearing my ACL by way of a heel hook. Setbacks only fueled my comeback. Through relentless dedication, both pre and post-surgery, I reclaimed the mats, emerging stronger than ever.
