During my time at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, I have gained broad clinical exposure across multiple disciplines, with particular emphasis on trauma and transplant surgery. These experiences have included participation in high-acuity trauma resuscitations, including cardiac massage, and serving as first assist on a liver recovery during my third year of medical school.

My research portfolio spans translational trauma surgery immunology, outcomes-based investigations after surgical repair for peripheral vascular injury, and clinical trial enrollment focused on optimizing massive transfusion protocols. I have also conducted outcomes and simulation-based research with the Navy Trauma Training Center examining surgical team readiness and performance in high-acuity trauma scenarios. Additional research during medical school has included assessing the utility of pre-exposure prophylaxis for herpes simplex virus, optimizing training of surgical resident education in the care of transgender and gender-diverse patients, anatomical variants impacting operative decision-making, and investigations into the health effects of Martian dust exposure, the latter of which has been featured in national media outlets including Discover Magazine.
