Mark grew up in the suburbs of New York City, where he chose a doctor costume for Halloween at age 5. Not long after, Neurology caught his attention as he witnessed his grandmother endure a devastating neurological diagnosis. He fell in love with the field for being at the frontier of clinical research and for its heavy reliance on team-based multidisciplinary treatment. Leaving the familiarity of the Northeast was difficult, but the opportunity to come to Emory and train at 3 unique hospitals amongst a culture of academics, mentorship and camaraderie was too hard to pass up. In his spare time, you can find Mark pounding the pavement of the Beltline and Freedom Parkway, sampling the local craft brews and talking your ear off about reality TV (especially Survivor).
