Enjoys aesthetic sports, including dance, and circus arts, watching gymnastics and figure skating, and hanging out with her wife and fur babies.

I consider every interaction with a patient to be a cross-cultural interaction. I work to explore each individual’s development, culture, and identity, so I can understand their experience of the world — particularly within the idiosyncrasies of MIT’s academic environment and the Cambridge bubble.
