About Me

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

My research involves medical applications of artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning in natural language processing, computer vision, and their intersection. I am a member of the NYU OLAB. I hope to drive the implementation of AI in clinical practice while navigating the related 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.
