I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love stories. I spent most of my childhood with my head either in a book or somewhere in the clouds dreaming up one story or another.

I was also exposed to medicine early on, so for most of my life, I thought I would be a physician. But during my last year of med school, I decided that medicine wasn’t for me.

Since then, I’ve been trying to figure out where I belong and have found myself right where I started—with stories and storytelling.

My work has been included in publications such as Doximity, Pulse, Hektoen International, and the Aspiring Docs Diaries. I have a medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and a B.A. from the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College.
