Hi! I'm a hematology and oncology fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. I was trained in internal medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Prior to this, I studied Chemical and Physical Biology -- and minored in Math -- at Harvard College. Afterward, I went to Harvard Medical School where I was supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute research fellowship. I've done research in iron metabolism, genetics, and hematology. In my spare time, I like to create music, play chess, climb rocks, and write poetry.
