I am a PGY-5 Neurosurgery Resident at UNC Chapel Hill. I am interested in pursuing a career in functional, epilepsy and stereotactic neurosurgery. Currently, my research focus is in high intensity focused ultrasound evaluating both technique optimization for improved outcomes and uncovering disparities in access to HIFU in order to promote equity in care.
