Bio

Why I chose a career in CT surgery: As a senior in high school, I was fortunate enough to shadow an open-heart surgery. I was in awe of the command the surgeon had over their domain. I have been working towards CT surgery ever since.

Why I chose IU School of Medicine: IUSM offers robust training in adult cardiac and thoracic surgery as well as congenital surgery. The attending physicians and staff are dedicated to training us to be skilled doctors and well-rounded humans.

Professional/ Research Interests: Cardiac Surgery

Personal Interests: Spending time with family, exercising and baking
