Resident
Division of Urogynecology, Hackensack Meridian Health - Jersey Shore University Medical Center

I am a PGY4 OBGYN resident at Hackensack Meridian Health - Jersey Shore University Medical Center. I graduated in the class of 2020 at New York University School of Medicine. I completed my undergraduate coursework at New York University where I studied mathematics and computer science from 2010 to 2014. During my time between undergraduate and medical school, I completed development of GenomeScope, a computer algorithm that analyzes DNA, volunteered at Cohen Children's Medical Center with the Sunrise on Wheels Program, and worked a full time job as a medical scribe for CityMD Urgent Care. The culmination of these experiences are what influenced me to pursue a career as a physician and demonstrated my desire to help those who are most in need.

As for my nonacademic interests, I have a strong passion for martial arts. I have been practicing martial arts for almost twenty years. I have a first degree black belt from Tiger Schulmann's Mixed Martial Arts, where I continue to train in Muay Thai (kickboxing), Jiu-Jitsu (submission grappling) and traditional Karate. I believe that training in the martial arts promotes physical and mental well-being. I continue to apply my discipline for training to all aspects of my life.
