Resident Bio
I was born, raised, and educated in New York. While my allegiance with NY is still strong – especially with regards to the Mets vs. Nationals rivalry – I have grown to love Washington, D.C. as a new home. I have a strong interest in thoracic oncology and look forward to pursuing a cardiothoracic surgery fellowship after completing residency. After surgery, my second passion is music. While I don’t have as much time to play music anymore, I still enjoy taking advantage of the concerts and cultural activities that D.C. has to offer.
