I am PGY-4 at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in the department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. I am interested in pursuing a fellowship in Head & Neck Oncologic and Endocrine Surgery. My research interests include clinical trials, cost utility analysis, predictive modeling, and survivorship.

I am currently running a trial investigating the effects of Radiofrequency Ablation of Posterior Nasal Nerves on Inflammatory Cytokines, Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow, and Nasal Blood Flow in Patients With Chronic Rhinitis. NCT05648565
