I chose Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Family Medicine residency because of its supportive faculty, collaborative learning environment, and commitment to serving a diverse patient population. Since joining the program, I have appreciated how approachable everyone has been and how invested they are in helping each resident grow into a confident, compassionate physician. I also appreciate being in northern New Jersey, which allows me to stay close to my family and friends while caring for a diverse community. My professional interests include preventive care, hospital medicine, chronic disease management, and providing comprehensive care across all stages of life. Outside of medicine, I enjoy hiking, trying new restaurants, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and playing video games.
