Biography
My academic journey commenced with a gastroenterology fellowship focusing primarily on esophageal and gastrointestinal motility disorders at the 91ɫƵ. After completion of the fellowship, My path led me to The Ohio State University, where I assumed the role of Director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Lab. There, I was able to contribute to advancing our understanding of gastrointestinal motility disorders, and my work substantially impacted the field. I began shaping the Neurogastroenterology program at Ohio State, which promised hope and better outcomes for patients with complex GI problems. This endeavor was a testament to my unwavering commitment to improving patient care.
With this deep-seated commitment, I returned to my roots at the 91ɫƵ, where I am now excited to serve patients, pursue academic excellence, and achieve new horizons. My journey is far from over; I eagerly anticipate each new day as I continue to positively impact the world of Neurogastroenterology, enriching lives and contributing to the medical community.
