I’m a trauma and acute care surgeon at MetroHealth and an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Case Western Reserve University. I joined MetroHealth in 2019 and currently serve as Director of Emergency General Surgery, Medical Director of our Advanced Practice Provider fellowship, and Process Improvement Champion for the Department of Surgery.

I earned my medical degree from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, completed my general surgery training at Loyola University Medical Center, and went on to complete a fellowship in surgical critical care at UT Southwestern and Parkland Memorial Hospital.

I care for patients who often arrive at the hospital unexpectedly—whether due to injury or emergency surgery needs. I find deep purpose in helping patients and their families navigate these difficult moments with compassion and clarity. Outside of the operating room, I focus on improving the quality of care through research and developing clinical guidelines.
