I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of California, San Diego in 2013 with a B.S. in Bioengineering and a Global Health Minor. I also completed an M.S.E. in Bioengineering Innovation & Design at Johns Hopkins University in May 2018. I received my M.D. degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in May 2019.
