About

Biography

I have always been inspired by the joy of lifelong learning and was fortunate to have mentors throughout my career who helped develop my interests through research and modeling patient-inclusive care. Teaching residents and students provides daily motivation for me, and I enjoy the opportunity to pass on the art of our practice. I serve as the vice chair for education in our Department of Surgery, and I help run Ohio State’s robotic surgery education program via my role as associate medical director for Educational Curricula in the Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery. I have also previously served as an associate program director of the General Surgery Residency Program.

I have research interests in surgical education and safe surgical teaching, patient decision-making, and inflammatory bowel disease, and have been published in several peer-reviewed journals including the American Journal of Surgery, Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery and Journal of Surgical Education. I have also presented my research at national meetings, including the American College of Surgeons and the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, where I chair the Young Researchers Committee. I’m fortunate to have had my research supported by grant funding from the AAMC-GEA and institutional grant funding.
