Research
My research focuses on determining the contributing factors to pain in intervertebral disc degeneration. We seek a better understanding of the pathophysiology underlying intervertebral disc degeneration-related pain in order to develop and test therapeutic strategies.
Future Plans
My goal is to attend medical school and continue in orthopaedics as a physician-scientist.
Other interests
Yoga, guitar, snowboarding
