Summary

  • I’m an MD candidate at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA with a strong passion for urology and transplant surgery. As a graduate student researcher at both UCLA’s Department of Urology and the Cedars Sinai Comprehensive Transplant Center, I’ve contributed to projects focused on kidney transplant tolerance, bladder neuromodulation, and vascularized bladder allografts.

    I previously founded the Melanoma Awareness Program (M.A.P), worked as a research associate in the Biocultural Anthropology Methods Laboratory and as a surgical medical assistant at Main Line Dermatology. I studied Biological Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, where I was honored with the Department of Anthropology Prize and the Phi Beta Kappa Thesis Prize.

    I’m driven by a deep commitment to equity, innovation, and patient-centered care, and I aim to build a career at the intersection of research and transformative surgical practice in urology and transplant.
