About Me
I am a board-certified pathologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and interpreting a wide range of diseases through the examination of tissue, cells, and bodily fluids, with subspecialty expertise in anatomic pathology, cytopathology, and neuropathology.
My patients and clinical colleagues can rely on me for high quality, precise diagnostic insights and honest communication in every case. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about educating and mentoring the next generation of providers. I am an associate clinical professor of Pathology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
