What excites you about your residency/fellowship at Corewell Health? I am thrilled to train with a supportive team and gain exposure to all that the field of colon and rectal surgery has to offer.

Additionally, I'm excited to explore Western Michigan!

Clinical interests: I appreciate the breadth of colon and rectal surgery and am interested in gaining exposure to all facets of the subspecialty during my fellowship training.
