I grew up in Alexandria, VA and attended college at New York University. I went to American University of the Caribbean for medical school. I chose Drexel Family Medicine for many different reasons. I was very eager to get back to the Northeast for residency and I loved the fact that Drexel has maintained a commitment to the community as well as training well-rounded physicians. I could tell during my interview that the Drexel faculty are engaged, caring and committed to creating a robust curriculum that also allows you to tailor your learning to what you are most interested in. Outside of medicine, I enjoy hanging out with my family, working out at Orange Theory, exploring Philadelphia, and traveling whenever possible.

To become the family physician I’ve always wanted to be, I knew I needed to train in a community hospital setting with an academic institution that emphasizes evidence-based medicine, where I could learn how to best serve a diverse population. I am so glad to have found this and more with Drexel University/Tower Health. The supportive team environment and culture of growth and inclusivity are exactly what I hoped for in a residency program. In addition to patient-centered medical care, I have a strong interest in mental health, something I pursued throughout my undergraduate training in Biology and Philosophy at Queen’s University, my graduate studies in liver cancer biochemistry at McGill University, and as a St. George’s University medical student. I was raised in Ontario, Canada, I enjoy being with my family (running around with all my nieces and nephews), music, playing basketball and squash, and of course all food-based activities.
