Biography/Statement

Hello! I am a Medical Student at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine within the PRIME-LA Pathway. My early interests in Head and Neck Surgery relate to finding therapies for Oropharyngeal Cancer, as well as discovering more about the Reconstruction that occurs after various resections.

Currently, I am conducting research to help us better understand the pathophysiology of HPV-related cancers with the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Maie St. John.

I have also done policy work within the AMA to advocate for increased coverage for Medicaid patients needing auditory exams and hearing aid intervention.
