My experience spans critical care and trauma surgery at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell, where I have honed my skills in managing complex cases and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

Throughout my career, I have also worked in internal medicine and urgent care, allowing me to develop a comprehensive understanding of patient needs across different healthcare environments. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my certifications, including ACLS and ATLS, and my role as a student preceptor at Weill Cornell Medical Center.
