What is your specialty?
My specialty is primary care sports medicine.

What attracted you to your specialty?
I ruptured my ACL when I was 17 playing basketball. After understanding what it’s like to have an injury like that, I wanted to help athletes recover as quickly and healthfully as possible. I feel sports are important to develop leadership, friendships, and to learn how to work on a team. I want to help others recover from injuries to return to activities they enjoy.

What made you want to work at Beacon Orthopaedics?
I enjoy the opportunity to work with athletes of all ages. We have such a diverse group of patients of all ages and backgrounds, so my job is never boring!

Do you have any advice for young people who want to be doctors when they grow up?
If you have any interest in medicine, then work towards that dream! Hard work will get you far in this field.
