About

I obtained my medical degree in the United Arab Emirates before completing my residency in Adult Neurology at the University of Alberta. I then completed a clinical/research fellowship at the University of Toronto at the Canadian Concussion Centre where I expanded on my interests in Concussion, Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).

I am currently appointed as an Associate Clinical Professor in Neurology at the University of Alberta with a special interest in Concussion and Concussion-related syndromes and Headache Disorders. I have research interests in the field of Concussion. 

I am currently the Residency Program Director for Adult Neurology and a board member of the Canadian Headache Society.
