About Me

I am a third-year medical student and Vilcek merit scholar at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

My research involves the medical applications of artificial intelligence and deep learning. I am a member of the NYU OLAB. I hope to drive the implementation of AI in clinical practice and help navigate the upcoming policy and regulatory challenges.

Previously, I was a 4-year varsity swimmer at Brown. I graduated in 2022 with honors in applied mathematics-biology after completing a thesis in statistical neuroscience under the direction of Wilson Truccolo.

From 2018-2020, I performed data management, biostatistics, and health services research at the Brigham and Women’s Center for Surgery and Public Health.

I grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, and attended Newton South High School.

In my spare time, I enjoy operas, art and architecture, photography, and swimming.
