About
My interest in collegiate sports medicine stems from the unique opportunity to manage high-level athletes while also considering academic demands, mental health, and long-term wellness. I appreciate the continuity of care and longitudinal relationships that are possible in this setting—following an athlete through a full season or career and having a meaningful impact on their performance, health, and future. I enjoy working in a team environment and collaborating closely with athletic trainers, strength and conditioning staff, physical therapists, coaches, and fellow healthcare providers. My academic interests include diagnostic and interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound, injury prevention and biomechanics, regenerative medicine, and concussion.
