Emergency & Critical Care

I am originally from Jacksonville, Florida. Spent some time in Colorado and New York before settling to the DC area. Enjoy running and swimming and other outdoor activities, but also enjoy the museums and other indoor amenities that DC has to offer.

Clinical Areas of Interest
