Biography

I am an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery, with a sub-specialty in hand/upper extremity surgery. I have a special interest in micro-vascular disorders, pediatric hand injuries and peripheral nerve conditions. In my spare time I enjoy running and traveling. I am excited to be a part of the Wake Forest orthopedic team!
