About

I am currently an M.D. candidate at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Formerly, I completed an MPhil in Health, Medicine, and Society at the University of Cambridge, where I explored the intersections of medical anthropology, medical sociology, and philosophy of medicine. I also completed my undergraduate degree in medical anthropology, with minors in chemistry and bioethics at CWRU. As part of my academic and professional development, I have gained valuable experience in various healthcare settings. I am passionate about learning new skills and perspectives that can enhance my understanding of health and medicine. I aim to become a physician who can provide compassionate and culturally competent care to diverse populations. I am actively seeking new opportunities for professional growth.
