Personal Statement

I am interested in novel therapeutics and personalized medicine with the aim of improving survival and quality of life. I also have a passion for system improvement with an emphasis on using technology and data to help drive change. University of Chicago provides excellent clinical training, however the true attractions come in the resources offered to further your clinical and research aspiration. I am excited to explore the many opportunities at the university and am hopeful to start building a successful career here.

Living in Chicago

I grew up in Chicago and have spent most of my life in the city. Over the past few decades I have had the opportunity to explore so much of what Chicago has to offer and I still have so much to do. I truly love the city and am thrilled to be staying in Chicago for fellowship. I live in the west suburbs along with my wife and twin daughters. I am hopeful that as my daughters grow up they will develop the same fondness to the city I call home.

My hobbies:

  • Reading
  • Traveling
  • Meditation
