Orthopaedics and sports Medicine
Where did you grow up?
My formative years were spent on the island of Jamaica. My family later migrated to Alexandria, VA.
Why did you become a doctor and why did you choose your specialty?
I decided on orthopaedics after an injury while playing Division I sports in college. Our team physician was an orthopaedic surgeon and the excellent care that was given to us, along with the focus on restoring anatomy and function attracted me to the specialty.
I chose pediatric orthopaedics after having the privilege to rotate and participate in outreach clinics with the Shriners Hospital while in residency. I saw that in pediatric orthopaedics, we can make a difference not only in children’s lives, but also for their entire family; these changes can impact and positively change their entire lives and I am grateful to be a part of that journey.
What do you most enjoy doing outside of your clinical practice, when you’re not working?
I chose pediatric orthopaedics after having the privilege to rotate and participate in outreach clinics with the Shriners Hospital while in residency.

Working out/CrossFit, traveling, and being with family and friends.
Describe your proudest accomplishment as a provider and/or in your personal life:
I was honored to have served our country on active duty in the United States Army. Being able to come alongside fellow servicemembers stateside and deployed, have been some of my proudest moments as an orthopaedic surgeon.
If you weren’t a doctor, what profession would you most likely be doing and why?
Coaching high school track and field. I enjoy the mentorship aspect as well as helping to guide young people to excellence in sports and in their lives.
