I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended Brown University, where I received my degree in biomedical engineering. Before attending medical school at the University of California, San Diego, I continued my undergraduate thesis work in brain computer interface clinical trials with the BrainGate group at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Throughout medical school, I was involved in a variety of research endeavors, including cost-effectiveness, clinical trials, and medical ethics. The thesis for my master’s degree in clinical research investigated the use of advanced diffusion imaging techniques as biomarkers for neurocognitive performance in people undergoing brain radiotherapy. Before coming to MSK, I completed my preliminary year internship in internal medicine at Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles. My primary interest is conducting clinical research focused on using advanced imaging techniques for radiation treatment planning and delivery, as well as post-treatment monitoring with the goal of predicting, identifying, and reducing normal tissue toxicity.
