I am currently an orthopedic surgery resident at Carolinas Medical Center (Atrium Health). My background and passion is engineering, entrepreneurship, startups, and patents. I spent 4+ years with our startup Ichor, and then 3 years teaching Engineering Entrepreneurship at UGA. My time teaching at UGA focused on the intersection of engineering, intellectual property, and entrepreneurship. I have also spent time with UGA’s Innovation Gateway mentoring university-led startups, and the National Science Foundation’s Innovation-Corps teaching startup bootcamps.

Through these experiences, I have come to love teaching as much as I love startups and hope to pursue both of these in the healthcare space going forward.
