Advancing Athletic Medicine Through Education & Research

Working with such amazing lab members and a truly wonderful mentor has made me look forward to coming to work every day. Being part of this team has already helped me grow in meaningful ways, both personally and professionally, and it continues to motivate me to become a better researcher and a better person. 

Our first patient was a good example of how I’m involved with patient care. They’d fallen off their mountain bike and fractured and dislocated their ankle about a week before. I’d already scheduled this clinic appointment for them and acquired the images needed for surgery; today, I talk with them about surgical management and their recovery timeline. 

My favorite thing about SoK is absolutely the people who are here. Our school is a place where people can connect on a smaller scale within a large institution, and it is a place where you can really feel like you belong and are part of something.

Soccer is my passion. In the long term, I think I want to open a sports complex in my parents’ home countries because the opportunity to participate in sport is not available. We have the talent, but we don’t have the resources.
