Growing up involved in athletics and being a former collegiate athlete has really developed my strong interest in orthopaedics. As a member of the trauma team, I enjoy seeing patients from start to finish. It allows me to have a strong patient interaction and create an environment where patients are comfortable with their care. Orthopaedic care is invaluable. I find it rewarding helping individuals reclaim their quality of life, get back to their physical activities, and doing what they enjoy most.
