Bio

I'm a Stanford MD/MBA student dedicated to making healthcare more accessible, especially in underserved communities. My journey has taken me from coordinating health initiatives in Ghana, South Africa, and Peru to working on advancing healthcare equity at Stanford. Along the way, I’ve learned that whether it’s a rural clinic or a high-tech hospital, the common denominator is people who just want to feel cared for—and maybe not have to fill out so many forms. As a Stanford Arbuckle Fellow, I coach peers, honing skills in listening, empathy, and group dynamics. It’s taught me that sometimes the best leadership comes from knowing when to step back and let others shine—plus the occasional well-timed joke never hurts. These experiences help me bridge clinical insight with compassionate leadership, ensuring healthcare truly serves everyone, everywhere.
