Medical school:  University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.

Residency: Emory University, Atlanta, GA.

Pursuing Geriatric Medicine: My interest in geriatrics started after I worked as a CNA at a nursing home during college.  I found a lot of joy and meaning in working with the older adult population. Along the way in my career in geriatric medicine, I’ve enjoyed learning about and tackling the unique social and medical challenges that this population faces. My geriatric medicine mentors and peers are also some of the kindest, happiest, and most genuine people I know, and I am excited to train alongside them.

Personal history: I’m so excited to be back in Charlottesville after three years of residency in Atlanta. I plan to take many walks on the lawn and explore more of Shenandoah National Park with my two golden retrievers. I am also looking forward to getting married this Fall and to our celebratory trip to Japan afterward.

Pursuing Geriatric Medicine: Growing up, I didn’t get to experience a relationship with my grandparents. Both my grandfathers had passed before I was born. I had a grandmother in Jordan who I saw infrequently. I had a grandmother who lived in northern NJ, but she had pretty significant Alzheimer’s since I could remember. I never had a chance to know her due to Alzheimer’s, and that frustrated me. That is why I am interested in Geriatrics.

Personal history: I am getting married in August 2024 in Amman, Jordan. I enjoy watching most sports and playing basketball. I also enjoy hiking, playing pickleball, and ultimate frisbee. I have a cat named Harley, named after her loud motorcycle-like purrs.
