Biographical Statement
I was raised in Oak Brook, Illinois, and attended boarding school at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy before completing my undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago, where I majored in Psychology and graduated with Honors. I then enrolled in The Chicago Medical School, and I spent a year during medical school doing research in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Loyola University Medical Center. I went on to do my internship training at the Presence St. Francis Hospital Transitional Year program, and I am blessed to now call myself a radiation oncology resident at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. I am passionate about patient safety, quality improvement, mentorship, multidisciplinary collaboration, and all research initiatives that strive to meaningfully improve clinical practice. I am deeply honored and tremendously excited to serve on the ARRO Executive Committee! I hope to use my Communications role to unite like-minded individuals for scholarly pursuits that revolutionize the field as well as social activities that foster networking and personal connection.
