Medical training
Building the clinical foundation for a career in cardiac surgery or interventional cardiology.
Medicine & researchCurrently based in New York City
Medicine,
considered in full.
I’m a medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, interested in cardiac surgery, clinical research, and the ethical questions that accompany medical care.
Introduction
How I got here.
I studied biology and philosophy at the University of Florida before beginning medical school in New York. Along the way, I’ve worked in chemical biology, ocular oncology, philosophy, and outdoor media.
Those experiences have made me attentive to both sides of medicine: the technical work of understanding and treating disease, and the judgment required to care for a person well.
Current focus
What I’m working toward.
Research sharpens my use of evidence, bioethics deepens my judgment, and business strengthens my accountability—each helping me become a better doctor.
