Originally from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, I lived the majority of my life in my home state, including 9 years at the University of Louisville (Go Cards) obtaining my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in engineering and my Doctor of Medicine. I completed my slastic surgery residency at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, and my fellowship in pediatric plastic and craniofacial surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center prior to joining the team at Nemours Children's Health.
