After college, she spent two years at Weill Cornell - NY Presbyterian researching delirium in the pediatric ICU. During this time, she confirmed that her love for research had grown into a love for medicine, so she studied for the MCAT exam and applied to medical school.

Upon completing medical school at Boston University School of Medicine, she continued onto her training as a psychiatry resident at Brown. Upon completing her residency, she will be joining a group psychiatric practice in Rhode Island. She would like to thank all of the nurses, hospital staff, mentors, teachers, and colleagues she has been fortunate to work with along this journey.
