Thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted into Fellowship with the American College of Surgeons (ACS)—joining a community of 89,000 surgeons committed to excellence, ethics, and lifelong learning.
⠀
The designation FACS—Fellow of the American College of Surgeons—isn’t just a title. It’s a reflection of years of surgical training, academic leadership, clinical service, and a deep belief in advancing our field with intention and integrity.
⠀
As I prepare to walk in the 2025 Convocation, I’m reminded that my passion for teaching, mentoring, and coaching continues to evolve.
⠀
While my roots are in plastic, orthopedic, and peripheral nerve surgery, my reach has grown wider. I find purpose in working with all young surgeons, residents, and medical students—regardless of specialty—who are navigating the challenges of surgical training, leadership identity, and professional fulfillment.
⠀
It’s one thing to teach technique. It’s another to help someone become the kind of surgeon they hope to be.
⠀
This Fellowship marks a milestone—but it also renews my commitment to support the next generation with clarity, empathy, and presence.
⠀
Thank you to the mentors, colleagues, students, and residents who continue to shape me along the way.
