Guest Biography

With a distinguished focus on sports medicine and injury prevention, my role at Lexington Medical Center involves advancing patient health through expert podiatric surgery and personalized care. I am the principal investigator of Protect Our Players (POP), a research initiative focused on identifying lower extremity injury risk factors in female soccer players. Our pilot study—presented at the 2025 FIFA Isokinetic Conference—evaluated cleat design, playing surface, strength and conditioning, and menstrual cycle tracking. A larger, multi-site study is launching this year to expand these findings and drive evidence-based change in women’s sports. In addition to my clinical and research work, I contribute medical content to U.S. Soccer’s Recognize to Recover program and provide educational resources on injury prevention for athletes, coaches, and medical professionals. I also serve as a public speaker and educator for both international and grassroots teams, with a focus on empowering communities through safe sport. As the USA Ambassador for Spirit of Football E.V., I advocate for social inclusion and global connection through soccer—merging my medical expertise with cultural exchange and community engagement.
