Philanthropic Initiatives

  • Oct 2010 - PresentI am very fortunate to have the opportunity to bring my training and expertise to needy children in the developing world. I was lucky to be invited with Healing the Children on a mission trip to Kathmandu, Nepal where we treated children and adults with clubfoot, flatfoot and residual problems from other foot deformities. While in my Fellowship in Baltimore I was honored to treat the children and adults in Port Au Prince, Haiti with Operation Rainbow and the Save-a-limb foundation. This work is my love, to affect change in someone's life is an amazing gift, to affect change in a child's is even more rewarding.
