My parents cultivated these interests from a very young age, supporting my creativity and exploratory spirit using the great outdoors as my backdrop.Īs a pre-medical student at the University of Colorado Boulder, I worked with researcher and educator William B. I have always been interested in both creative and academic pursuits, ranging from artistic expression with acting and the visual arts and also the scientific method. I look forward to my time in Boston and the chance to explore a new city, all the while still rooting for the Knicks. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy playing trivia, watching movies, eating at new restaurants and traveling with my fiancé. I am excited to pursue a career in neurology and hope to find a direct means to impact and improve healthcare disparities. I was captivated by the level of intellect, active mentorship and most importantly the compassion exhibited to patients. However, that all changed when I was lucky enough to rotate at MGH in the neurosciences ICU and consult service. Through this journey, I have since lived in other major cities including Chicago and Atlanta, all the while still planning on eventually returning to my hometown. I chose neurology after experiencing the diverse pathology, the intricate physical exam and the complexity of cases. This led me to pursue medicine while focusing on addressing healthcare disparities. While attending NYU for an economics degree, I was exposed to the inequities in the health care system through the loss of a family member that forever changed the trajectory of my life. Born and raised in Queens, New York, I have grown up an avid Knicks fan and stayed local throughout most of my life.
