Biography
I am a board-certified emergency medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in providing acute care for patients experiencing urgent and life-threatening conditions with a particular focus on prehospital and emergency medical services (EMS).
My patients can rely on me for high quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter. 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 advancing emergency medical services through education and innovation. I completed both my residency and EMS fellowship at Ohio State and now serve as an assistant professor of Emergency Medicine. I also contribute to the Center for EMS where I help strengthen real-world training opportunities for local EMS providers and support efforts to improve prehospital care delivery.
