I have over 9 years of experience in the health and education non-profit industry and am interested in using those skills to improve medical training. I am also working towards furthering financial literacy in the medical community through my blog FinanceRX, with a specific focus on millenial and gen z.

My research expertise is in orthobiologics and have published multiple manuscripts, textbook chapters, and posters on platelet-rich plasma. My clinical interest is in general orthopaedics, hand, shoulder, and elbow surgery.

My other work is in the realm of medical innovation, devices, and health tech.
