Professional Statement

Being physically active is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Physical activity comes in all forms including organized sports, recreational activities, performing arts, and active play. These activities allow children and individuals to grow and develop lifelong skills. As a sports medicine physician that is part of a healthcare team, it is important to build a trusting relationship with the athlete, their family, and coaches. This is integral to helping them recover mentally and physically, while allowing them to return to their activity safely. My training provided me the opportunity to care for high school and collegiate athletes participating in a variety of activities both on and off the field. Through clinical care and research, I strive to advance the care of pediatric athletes in the community and around the state.
