EARLY ACADEMIC PURSUITS:

During my undergraduate years from 2005 to 2009 at the University of Virginia, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with Distinction, accompanied by a Minor in Studio Art. This foundational period laid the groundwork for my multifaceted approach to learning, blending the analytical rigor of the sciences with the creative elements of studio art.

PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS:

In 2010, I embarked on the journey towards a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond, VA. This phase of my education marked the transition from theoretical knowledge to the practical application of medical expertise, fostering my commitment to the field of pathology.

CONTRIBUTIONS AND RESEARCH FOCUS ON PATHOLOGY:

Throughout my residency at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (2014-2017), I actively engaged in the field of Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology (AP/CP), developing a keen interest in bone and soft tissue pathology. This interest led me to pursue specialized training, culminating in my Selective Bone & Soft Tissue Pathology Fellowship at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX (2019-2020).

IMPACT AND INFLUENCE:

My role as the AP/CP Pathology Chief Resident at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (2017-2018) allowed me to contribute significantly to the department's operations. I played a pivotal role in bridging clinical and anatomical aspects, fostering a comprehensive understanding of pathology.

ACADEMIC CITES:

In 2018, I achieved board certification in Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology (AP/CP) from the American Board of Pathology, affirming my proficiency and dedication to maintaining the highest standards in the field.

LEGACY AND FUTURE CONTRIBUTIONS:

Since 2020, I have served as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine. In this capacity, I continue to impart knowledge, mentor future pathologists, and contribute to the advancement of pathology through my clinical work and research endeavors.

HIGHLIGHTS:

My commitment to excellence is underscored by my continuous pursuit of knowledge and certifications, including my current Indiana Medical License (expiring 10/31/2025) and my status as a Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider certified by the American Heart Association.

FUTURE CONTRIBUTIONS:

Looking ahead, I am dedicated to furthering research, education, and patient care in the realm of pathology. I aspire to make enduring contributions to the field, leaving a lasting legacy through my dedication to excellence, mentorship, and continued pursuit of knowledge.
