What attracted you to Conemaugh? Conemaugh offered the ideal environment to synthesize a rich background in orthopedic research and musculoskeletal medicine with full-scope Family Medicine training. The strong sense of community, robust hands-on clinical exposure, and opportunity to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care made it a natural fit for my next chapter in medicine.

Professional/Personal Goals: Professionally, I aim to leverage my surgical background to deliver full-scope Family Medicine with a strong emphasis on musculoskeletal care, sports/procedural medicine, and outpatient care, while advocating for streamlined digital collaboration and resource-sharing within the residency program. Personally, I am dedicated to balancing medicine with spending quality time outdoors, traveling, and enjoying life with my family and dogs.
