About Me
As a pediatric emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am privileged to care for some of our most vulnerable patients and their families during moments of need. My journey to pediatric emergency medicine was deeply influenced by the loss of my younger brother, an experience that not only shaped my career path but also instilled in me a commitment to patient- and family-centered care. I strive to create an environment where families feel heard, supported, and reassured, even in the face of uncertainty.

Research Summary
My desire to become a physician started early and was shaped by the death of my younger brother. This loss not only directed me toward medicine but also fueled my passion for compassionate patient- and family-centered care. Working in the Pediatric Emergency Department, I strive to blend medical expertise with genuine care and support for both patients and their families. It's a challenging but deeply rewarding role, and it constantly reminds me of why I chose this path and the lasting impact of my brother’s memory on my approach to medicine.
