Born in Rhode Island, I am grateful for the abundant opportunity I have found at Brown since joining this community as an undergraduate in 2014. Currently an MD/PhD student, I have developed clinical interests in neurological surgery and emergency medicine, basic science interests in tumor pathogenesis and cellular plasticity, and clinical research interests in patient outcomes following surgical procedures. Outside of school, I like exploring local restaurants, outdoor adventures with friends, and caring for my plants, my two cats, and my multitude of aquatic pets.
