How has the AAOS helped you throughout your career?
As a musculoskeletal radiologist, I serve as a consultant to orthopaedic surgeons, which requires a deep understanding of their practices. The AAOS provides valuable resources through its website and meetings, allowing me to gain insights into what is most relevant to their work.

As an Allied member, which AAOS resources do you use most and why?
To remain up-to-date and effectively communicate with the orthopaedic surgeons I collaborate with, I utilize the Education and Publications sections of the website to better understand current treatment trends and surgical techniques.

What’s the best advice you were ever given? Who was it from?
John Pile-Spellman, a pioneer in Interventional Neuroradiology, mentored me during medical school and instilled two important lessons: to provide the best patient care, one must work as a team, and to ask intelligent questions, it's essential to anticipate the answers first.

What’s your go-to productivity trick?
Maintaining a consistent daily routine.

What’s one thing you’re currently trying to make a habit?
Reduce the time I spend in front of a screen.

What hobbies do you enjoy in your spare time?
I love to run, it brings me clarity and calm. All other hobbies revolve around my daughters :)

Tell us a fun fact about yourself that not many people know?
Truth is often stranger than fiction, which is why I prefer reading non-fiction, especially art history and WWII.
