About me
Thank you for joining me on this journey to learn
more about general surgery. I was born and raised in the beautiful
country of Zimbabwe (Africa). I was then fortunate enough to get
accepted to Columbia University in the City of New York so I left
everything I knew and moved to the land of opportunity, USA, when I was
19 years old.
After spending a stressful, but amazing 4 years in
the Big Apple, I moved to Boston (Beantown) for medical school. After
medical school I stayed in Beantown for general surgery residency, which
I finished in June 2022. In 2023, I will be moving down south for
Bariatrics/Minimally invasive surgery.
I have taken multiple detours throughout this
wonderful journey. I spent a year in Rwanda in medical school and two
years in Seattle doing hepatobiliary and foregut research. Each detour
has taught me many valuable lessons, some of which I will share on this
platform.
I have interests in clinical research, surgical
education, IT, innovation and Global health. I have done lots of
research, so you can check out some of my work below. If you have
interest in collaborating, you’re more than welcome to get in touch and
we can see if we can work together.
