Professional Statement

I am a fellow physician in Vascular Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine. My clinical interests focus on the treatment and post-management of patients with ischemic stroke. At the St. Louis University School of Medicine MD/PhD program (PhD in Health Outcomes Research), my area of expertise primarily fell under applied biostatistics and research methodology/design with a focus in clinical research. I recently completed my neurology residency at the University of Chicago and after completion of fellowship, I will be applying for a clinical position at an integrated healthcare system.
