How I fell in love with radiology:
I fell in love with radiology after spending time in the radiology reading room during medical school. I was uncertain what my future specialty would be, but I found a passion for imaging after just a few visits to the radiology department. I enjoy the complexities of human anatomy as well as searching for the various pathologies which commonly afflict us. Each imaging study performed provides valuable information to our clinical colleagues, and I find a high level of satisfaction with this particular role in patient care.

Three things people may not know about me:

    1) I am a sports junkie. I follow most sports, and also like to think I can play most of them as well. This is debatable.
    2) I enjoy cooking new foods, and then seeing if my children will eat them.
    3) I once was a back-to-back local putt-putt golf champion. Please refer to No. 1 above.
