I was born in Washington, D.C. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin in 1993 and earned my doctor of medicine degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 1998. I completed my residency in internal medicine in 2001 at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Phiadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I also completed a fellowship in nephrology in 2003. Prior to joining North Texas Kidney Disease Associates in 2009, I practiced nephrology and served as medical director of a dialysis center in Pennsylvania.
