  • Hometown: Columbus, Ohio

  • Current Career Plan: be an exceptional physician and to show my patients that I am advocating for them daily! I plan to help address the disparities in infant mortality amongst minority communities and to be apart of the solution through education initiatives. Community service and engagement is a great passion of mine and I will make sure to use my position as a professional health care provider as a vessel for change!

  • Specialty Interest: Undecided

  • I am most proud of being a first-generation college graduate and soon to be doctor!

  • You might be surprised to know that I love science fiction books/movies!

  • ElevateMeD is… an organization committee to the professional, academic, and personal growth of underrepresented minority students in medicine. This organization supports students by providing professional development opportunities, giving financial assistance through scholarships, and cultivating supportive relationships through mentorship pairings. ElevateMeD is an entity necessary for the training of the next generation of prepared, empathetic, confident, and resilient minority physicians. I am excited to be supported by this network of inspiring physicians and to live out my passion for community engagement through health care advocacy!
