CV Highlights / Brief Biography
Worked as a firefighter in my early twenties, before deciding to pursue medicine. I was lucky enough to discover pathology during my third year of medical school and have never looked back! During residency, I served as the Chief Resident and was voted “Most Valuable Resident” by the faculty during my last two years. I hope to continue my career as a surgical pathologist with an emphasis on GI/Liver pathology somewhere in California.
