Research involvement began during residency through early exposure to health research methodology, which later evolved into completion of a Master’s degree following orthopedic surgery training. Current research interests focus on outcomes in spine surgery, identifying predictors of poor clinical outcomes, and developing strategies to mitigate complications and improve patient care in spinal disorders.

Fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto pursuing a double major in Neuroscience and Human Biology. My academic interests sit at the intersection of neuroscience, molecular biology, and computational analysis.
