Resident Bio

I’m a PGY-1 General Surgery preliminary resident transitioning to Anesthesiology. My academic interests center on basic science research, in which I have developed stem cell–derived retinal organoids and retinal ganglion cells to study mechanisms of neuroprotection. Outside the hospital, I enjoy staying active in the gym, following basketball and football, snowboarding, exploring art museums, learning about history, listening to music, and watching movies.
