About

Hello! I'm a first-year medical student at Harvard Medical School! I'm passionate about medical applications in biotech as well as increasing access to surgical care, both domestically and globally, in low- and middle-income countries. I hope to apply what I learn in the classroom to hands-on work in the community by making meaningful impacts and interpersonal connections.
