Biography:
I grew up in Eagle Idaho, and earned my undergraduate degree in Middle Eastern Studies with a focus in Arabic before attending Kansas City University (KCU) for medical school. After graduation, I completed two years of surgical training and then served for two more years as a Flight Surgeon in the U.S. Air Force. Those experiences ultimately led to a career in psychiatry, starting at the Wright State University program where I discovered a specialty that perfectly aligns with my interests and values. I was thrilled to continue my training within the same department in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, drawn by the exceptional mentorship and outstanding psychotherapy training offered by this program. Outside of training, I love spending time with my family, going for runs, and taking advantage of all the fantastic metro parks we have here in Dayton.
