A CU Medicine provider.

Since discovering that my family carries a rare gene mutation that significantly increases our risk of developing melanoma, I have dedicated my career to diagnosing and treating skin cancers such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. During my training, I became skilled in the early detection of skin cancer, which enables prompt treatment and management. I also completed additional training in Mohs micrographic surgery, a specialized technique known for its excellent cure rates and outstanding cosmetic outcomes, particularly in treating skin cancers on the face and other sensitive areas. Additionally, I have received advanced training in post-skin cancer reconstruction, including skin grafts and flaps. As a result, I am uniquely equipped to guide patients through every step of their melanoma care—from initial diagnosis and treatment to long-term surveillance.

In my spare time, I am an aspiring artisan pizza chef, a recreational soccer league enthusiast, a snowboarder, a Formula 1 fan, and an avid Broncos supporter.
