Bio

I am a medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, recently elected to the national Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society in recognition of my clinical and academic performance, leadership, research, and community service. I am passionate about patient advocacy, especially within the rare disease and disability spaces. I also have special interests in pain, addiction, and integrative medicine. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy volunteering to support individuals experiencing homelessness. In my free time, I love weightlifting, indoor cycling, and mountain hiking.
