This blog has connected me with so many incredible individuals over the years, and it let me know the importance of sharing our stories. I am grateful for the many people and classmates who helped babysit so that I could make it to the lab and thrive as a medical student. Looking back, it has literally taken a village though!

But I just don’t expect my medical students, residents and generalist colleagues to do that and to have that. I think that I want my residents and medical students and colleagues to do more than a math calculation. And then again, individualizing it to the patient. Delighted to be here.

Graduated in 2013, did a two-year clinician educator track. I was very close with my grandparents growing up, and then I actually was exposed to geriatrics as a pre-med student at Yale New Haven Hospital as one of the volunteers and Dr. I explored other things, but I felt like I consistently gravitated toward the care of older adults.
