Biography

Year Entered MCW: 2023
Previous Education: Louisiana State University; BS in Nutrition and Food Science, with a concentration in Nutrition, Health, and Society.
Career Goals: I’m working towards a career as a physician-scientist. I have a key interest in conducting research and promoting health and wellness with a focus on preventative care. I aim to treat a wide array of patients directly and indirectly locally and globally.

Research Interests

I’m interested in reducing health disparities and barriers to equity in the treatment of neurological and endocrine disorders through research, intervention, and advocacy, along with exploring the relationship between the gut-brain axis and how we can target it to enhance the immune system and tackle disorders.
