Personal Statement
My intention is to serve New Mexicans and patients in the surrounding regions by providing surgical care for patients with complex problems related to the ear and lateral skull base, and to educate medical students and residents in training. I enjoy my role on the neurosurgery skull base team where we provide comprehensive care for patients with tumors that involve the ear and parts of the brain. I'm passionate about providing surgical training for our otolaryngology residents and basic medical training for our medical students.
