My passion for pediatrics and health services research stems from my personal background. I graduated from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai with a Doctor of Medicine degree in 2020, and completed my pediatric residency at Boston Children's Hospital/Boston Medical Center in 2023. During my residency, I developed an interest in health disparities related to housing, and published multiple papers on this topic. I have a personal experience with homelessness for two years, which was highlighted in an article in the Boston Globe. I am committed to advancing the field of pediatric medicine and reducing health inequities through evidence-based practice and innovation.
