I am a current MD candidate in the Albany Medical College Class of 2026 pursuing my M.D. degree with an interest in exploring the restorative power of human musculoskeletal system, especially through the lens of Orthopedic Surgery. My passions include bringing to light the many injustices that under-represented or at-risk patients face in the healthcare system and incorporating lessons learned from those injustices into general medical education. My goal is to understand the workings of caring for these patients in all specialties, from emergency medicine to primary care to surgery.My drive to combine meaningful service experiences and medicine drew me to pursue a B.A. in Biology as part of the Siena-AMC Science in Humanities program, where I participated in over 2000 hours of meaningful service throughout my undergraduate experience.
