Hi Lowell! I’m a first-year resident tutor, second-year at HMS, and excited to be back as a Lowell alum! I call Dallas, Texas home. In college, I concentrated in Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology with an English secondary. Outside of class, I wrote for *Fifteen Minutes* (the best Crimson board!), studied zebrafish behavior, and discovered the joys of backstage theater. After college, I lived in a group home for people with intellectual disabilities on a farm in India. I'm interested in neurodevelopment and psychiatry. I’m always happy to talk about my interests, gap years, medical school, or anything else on your mind—ideally over some sweet treats or hot chocolate. I also enjoy breakfast foods at all hours, board games, binge-watching comedy shows, bad puns, book recs, and amateur running all around Boston!
