How I fell in love with neurology and headache medicine: The complexity of the neurosciences and the notion that the brain is where we live are what make me passionate about working as a neurologist. Headache is a complex disease process and affects many people worldwide. Migraine headache is the second highest disability in the world in terms of disability-adjusted life years. Helping patients regain quality of life and function from headache disorders is one reason why I love headache medicine.

Three things people may not know about me:
- I finished my first 5K earlier this year to raise awareness for headache disorders.
- I enjoy meeting people.
- In high school, I was invited to join dance, with which I had no prior experience. We practiced for weeks, and the final performance was during one of my lacrosse games. So instead of missing the game, I played for a few quarters (scored three goals) and then left to perform on stage. I had a blast and still remember how to swing dance.
