As a genetic counselor in oncology, my goal is to educate patients and their families about the role genes play in modifying risk for cancer and help individuals navigate the medical and emotional implications of hereditary cancer risk. I strive to provide an environment which fosters patient-centered, informed decision-making about genetic testing and future health management.

In 2019, he completed a master's degree in genetic counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Genetic Counseling Program.
