I studied Biology and Public Health at Washington University in St. Louis before earning a master's degree in physiology at Tulane University School of Medicine, where I also completed medical school. I now call Dallas home after completing Internal Medicine residency at UT Southwestern, where I participated in the Medical Education track and developed a deeper interest in teaching and mentorship. I am currently continuing my training at UTSW as a Gastroenterology and Transplant Hepatology fellow and also serve as one of the chief fellows for the program.
