I developed an interest in medical education during my residency at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. I was fortunate enough to start off as an APD at Einstein in Philadelphia where I got to work with an amazing group of educators and now I'm working in the UME world at Jefferson. When I'm not working, I like to spend time with my family, cooking meals, playing with Legos and building marble runs.
