"I’m excited to be joining this group of amazing physicians at such an impressive institution!"

I am thrilled to embark on this incredible journey with WashU Otolaryngology! The opportunity to train alongside esteemed faculty and fellow residents in such a dynamic and supportive environment is truly a dream come true. I am eager to contribute to WashU’s rich tradition of clinical excellence and groundbreaking research, and I cannot wait to immerse myself in all that this prestigious program has to offer.

Research Interests: Speech perception by hearing-impaired listeners, especially cochlear implant users; perception of talker-specific properties of speech by cochlear implant users, perception of suprasegmental speech characteristics and its relation to learning words; psychoacoustic abilities of cochlear implant users and of persons with unilateral hearing loss.

I was drawn to Washington University in St. Louis for its longstanding history of innovation and discovery fueled by research, its culture of collaboration, and clinical breadth and depth in otolaryngology. On interview day, I felt very welcomed and continue to feel welcomed and supported by everyone I have met here.

"Impressed by the world-class surgical training alongside research expertise from approachable faculty."
