Biography

I was born and raised in Chesterfield, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. I attended St. Louis University (SLU) for my undergraduate and graduate studies, earning Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biomedical Engineering (BME). I then worked as a research assistant and instructor in the BME department at SLU for about a year before entering medical school.

I earned my medical degree from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in Columbia, Missouri. While at the University of Missouri, I served in several leadership positions, including class secretary and student representative to the LCME accreditation committee. I was honored to be the first Orthopaedic Surgery Research Fellow at Sanford Health in Sioux Falls, South Dakota between medical school and residency.

I am currently an Orthopaedic Surgery Resident at the University of North Dakota / Sanford Health in Fargo, North Dakota.
