    Experience

    I began my career as a Vascular Neurologist in Louisiana, an area located in the heart of America's Stroke Belt, which provided me with a significant breadth and depth of clinical experiences in managing acute stroke cases and neurovascular disorders.

    After two impactful years in Louisiana, I moved to New York and assumed a leadership role as the Director and Chief of Neurology at Jamaica and Flushing Hospitals. In this role, I oversee a wide range of neurological services, champion clinical and operational excellence, and spearhead research initiatives.
