My role as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the UF College of Medicine allows me to mentor the next generation of healthcare professionals, sharing my expertise in family medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine.

Throughout my career, I have held various academic and clinical positions, including Assistant Professor at SHSU-COM and Team Physician for SHSU Athletics. My commitment to education is evident in my role as Course Director for Osteopathic Principles Practices, where I strive to instill a strong foundation in osteopathic medicine among students.

With a strong background in both clinical practice and academia, I am passionate about advancing the field of medicine through evidence-based practices and collaborative care. I am dedicated to improving patient outcomes and fostering a supportive learning environment for future healthcare leaders.
