About Me

Title(s): Resident

I was born and raised in Chicago, IL with a couple short stints in Sarasota, Florida! I grew up in extreme poverty and intermittent homelessness. Our pediatrician became a close family friend and helped us when we needed it most, inspiring me to pursue medicine.

I love training at MetroHealth because it combines a beautiful, state-of-the-art hospital with a mission that deeply resonates with me. I feel a strong connection to the underserved patient population we care for every day. As a resident, I feel genuinely supported by my program and colleagues, and I value the unique opportunity to rotate at world-class hospitals across Cleveland.

I enjoy spending time in the Cleveland Metroparks, whether I’m out for a run or mushroom hunting on the trails through the hills and valleys. My wife and I like exploring the city’s diverse food scene, and I also value the small but active local arts community, from neighborhood galleries to live music. Cleveland has a great mix of outdoor spaces, cultural opportunities, and a welcoming community that makes it a great place to live and train.
