General Info

In addition to teaching at UNC and conducting clinical research, I am a global leader in cleft care. I have been to over 21 countries performing cleft surgeries in the past 10 years with Operation Smile. I served as the co-chair of their surgical council and played an integral role in educating surgeons in developing countries on how to perform cleft and cleft-related surgeries. I have participated in over 45 surgical missions and continue to be involved in international work.
