I was originally born in Dublin, Ireland, and moved to the United States at the age of 10. I ultimately ended up in medical school in Chicago. I completed my residency and fellowship training at the University of California - Irvine medical center in Internal Medicine. I became chief resident after residency prior to starting my fellowship in gastroenterology. I love gastroenterology because of the depth of patients that we care for as well as the innovation that the field implies. I am passionate about endoscopy and believe in the power of prevention.
