Bio:

I grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland where I went to high school. For undergraduate studies and medical school, I went to Columbia University and Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, respectively. Within the UW Department of General Surgery, I am a resident member of the Diversity Council, with a primary goal to continue to promote DEI initiatives within the department and to continue to provide mentorship to junior residents within the department. My overall career goal is to become a trauma/critical care surgeon. UW General Surgery has given me the resources and expertise for me to continue to build on my personal interests and aspirations, and amazing co-residents who have given me the support I need to learn and grow.

Personal Interests:

Running, basketball, and music
