Bio

Where did you grow up? South Bend, Indiana.   What is your medical school/undergraduate background? Medical School: IU School of Medicine Undergraduate: Indiana University, bachelor’s in biology and biochemistry   Why are you pursuing a career in ENT? ENT is an awesome field! You are trained in a range of surgeries using microscopes, endoscopes and open techniques on the complex anatomy of the head and neck. I like the opportunity to have both kids and adults as patients, and in the end, you can have a tremendous impact on your patients’ lives. I also had fantastic mentors along the way that showed me how special this field can be.   What intrigued you about IU School of Medicine? I went to IU School of Medicine for medical school, and I always liked what I saw when I had the chance to do an ENT rotation. The faculty and residents here are great, down-to-earth people. All the chief residents that I have worked with are well-trained, comfortable and ready for the next steps of their career, whether that is general otolaryngology or a competitive fellowship. In addition, the ENT department has expanded quite a bit in the past few years, and I think that it will only continue to get better.   What do you want to learn most from the faculty and residents in the Department of Otolaryngology? I want to learn to be a great surgeon capable of giving my patients the best outcomes possible. I still am not sure about pursuing a fellowship versus a career as a general ENT, but I think being comfortable and competent in general otolaryngology is important regardless by the end of the residency.   What are some of your hobbies? Spending time with family, guitar, whiskey tasting.
