Hometown: Long Island, New York
Undergraduate School: Stony Brook University

Hobbies/Interests: I really enjoy live music, spending time with nature most often at the beach, chasing around my two cats, cooking, and traveling.
Why Stony Brook? I was looking for a residency position that would challenge me in a supportive environment with the opportunity to network and grow as both a person and a physician.  On interview day, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Lane and Dr. Weissman and it was clear that this program is what I was looking for.  Stony Brook University Hospital has a lot to offer, our patients come from all walks of life and the pathologies that show up on the floors are so diverse.  My favorite part of residency has been working with my co-interns and seniors, it’s been so nice getting to know them.  I look forward to noon conference throughout the week and having time to catch up with them.  I am thrilled to have matched at Stony Brook, it has been everything I could have imagined and more.
