About me
Biography

Hi everybody! I was born in NYC, then lived in Baltimore, Palestine, and Jordan before going to med school at Imperial College London in the UK. After working in the NHS for a couple of years I returned to Baltimore for residency with Medstar Health. While cardiology has always been in my heart I never knew how much I love being involved in medical education until I served as chief resident, and whichever branch of cards I end up in I hope to keep teaching the next generations. When I'm not in the hospital you can find me enjoying nature, dabbling in all kinds of sports, and learning to cook new recipes with my wife.
