My Biography & Research

Biography

As a pediatric sports medicine physician, I treat musculoskeletal injuries and sports-related concussions in children and adolescents. I also specialize in injury prevention and wellness.

I’ve always enjoyed working with young people and chose this career because I believed I could make a more significant difference with pediatric patients compared to adults.

Before joining Cincinnati Children’s in 2018, I was the assistant team physician for Ohio Dominican University. I’m currently the team physician for Western Hills University High School, Gilbert A. Dater High School and James N. Gamble Montessori School.

In each of these positions, I work hard to provide individualized care to my patients.

When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, running and traveling.
