I grew up outside Chicago and studied pre-medicine, liberal arts, and management at Indiana University through the Hutton Honors College and Kelley School of Business.

I completed medical school at Jagiellonian University in Poland, where training within the European system gave me a broad clinical foundation across different health systems and patient populations. I returned to the U.S. for clinical rotations at Penn, Cleveland Clinic, and the University of Rochester, then completed Internal Medicine residency and Cardiovascular fellowship at Penn State.

Early in my career I developed a focused interest in advanced cardiac imaging and coronary CT angiography — work that shaped how I think about early cardiovascular risk detection.

The pattern I kept seeing across every practice setting was the same: patients with no symptoms, no prior events, and significant undetected cardiovascular disease who slipped through standard care until something happened. HeartspanMD exists to close that gap — most patients don't need to do more, they need to understand what they're actually dealing with and have a clear strategy to act on it.
