Biography
I am currently a second-year global health fellow at George Washington University with plans to complete my fellowship in July 2025. I have a strong background in global health and a passion for improving healthcare access and outcomes worldwide.
Throughout my academic journey, I have actively engaged in projects that have allowed me to develop a well-rounded understanding of the challenges faced in global health, especially humanitarian response, workforce capacity building and medical education. My journey in global health, specifically, began in medical school where I also completed a Masters in Public Health in global epidemiology from Emory University, and gained comprehensive knowledge in global health issues, epidemiology, policy, and program management.
I completed my emergency medicine residency at Montefiore, Jacobi, and Albert Einstein in the Bronx, New York. During residency, I worked extensively with the underserved population in the Bronx, and as a chief resident, focused on wellness initiatives for residents, developing curriculums, and providing mentorship. I also volunteered through various organizations in India, Jamaica, and Poland, providing healthcare, teaching local providers, and participating in program improvement task forces.
As a fellow at George Washington University, I have been involved in many projects involving education, capacity building, and humanitarian response. My experiences have allowed me to participate in projects alongside organizations such as WHO and International Medical Corp. I have traveled to Ukraine, India, Uganda, Kenya, Jamaica, and Rwanda during my fellowship thus far and hope to continue working in these spaces to improve clinical care in low-resource and challenging settings. My long-term goal is to continue building on these experiences and establish a role in organizations that specifically focus on building capacity and providing healthcare in challenging environments.
