Professional

After graduating with a B.S. in Psychobiology and minor in Entrepreneurship, I worked at Cloudmed (formerly Triage Consulting Group) in San Francisco for two years. My gap years allowed me to learn about the business side of medicine.

Fun and Games

In terms of my interests outside of medicine, I experience an unparalleled thrill by exploring new places. By travelling to 14 international countries and 22 United States so far, I have only started appreciating the extraordinariness and diversity of different cultures.

I enjoy cooking! Some of my favorite dishes to cook include green Thai chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, and “kheema” (ground turkey and peas marinated in Indian spices.

Fitness is also important to me. I’ve crossed a few personal milestones so far: two 12-mile Tough Mudder obstacle courses in 2018, my first 26.2-mile marathon in Los Angeles in March 2019, the Berkeley half marathon in 2020, and a third Tough Mudder obstacle course in 2021.
