My expertise extends beyond mere clinical practice; I am driven to contribute to research efforts aimed at unlocking new insights and therapies for these often-overlooked conditions.

Through collaboration, innovation, and unwavering dedication, my mission is to bring about impactful improvements for patients in Kentucky grappling with neuromuscular conditions.
