Biography

Hometown:  Santa Monica, CA

Career Plans:  Pediatric Nephrology

Why Tulane?  I always wanted to work in a diverse population where I would be able to care for children in underserved communities.  I was drawn to the program's strong commitment to community engagement and advocacy efforts.  Additionally, I could tell from my interview, the residents genuinely like each other and want to spend time together.  Two years later, I feel the same way!

Love most about NOLA:  I love dressing up and wearing glitter for the random parades and fun runs throughout the year.  My favorite parade is the St. Patrick's Day Parade, where you collect as many cabbage as you can carry.  There is always something happening in the city that makes living here exciting.

Fun Facts / Hobbies:  I am an avid reader, a part time yogi, and an excellent Shakshuka maker
