I’m an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Biomedical Informatics at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. I am also an attending Anesthesiologist at Memorial Hermann Hospital and Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital. As such, I enjoy the luxury of being able to divide my time between patient care, teaching, and research.

I followed a “non-traditional” path to my career in medicine. Before starting medical school I had a decade of experience working in outdoor education, earned a master’s degree in geography, and spent 5 years developing software. Currently, my interests focus on the impact of Health Information Technology on the safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of healthcare delivery.
