Biography
I completed my undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering at the William E. Macaulay Honors College at the City College of New York. After graduation, I worked as a project manager for an electronic health records company, Epic Systems, in Verona, Wisconsin. I came to OHSU to complete my MD/ PhD training and to study cardiovascular physiology.
Outside of school, I enjoy learning to cook, swimming regularly, and hiking.
