I was born in Columbus, Ohio, but currently call State College, Pennsylvania home. In 2021, I earn a B.S. and B.A. from The Ohio State University where I majored in Biology, Evolution and Ecology, and Spanish, and minored in Film Studies. Throughout college, I had many distinguished academic experiences, including curatorial and archival work, ecological research, teaching experiences, and more. 

​

After college, I took two gap years before continuing my medical journey. I spent time conducting medical research, working at a STEM education non-profit organization, and visiting family abroad.

​

Currently, I am an M1 at Penn State University College of Medicine. I have aspirations to pursue a career in sports psychiatry with a particular emphasis on depression, anxiety, OCD, and disordered eating, as they relate to athletics.

​

In my free time, I enjoy creating and viewing art, exercising, exploring nature, attending concerts, trying new recipes, and traveling.
