I grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. I went to UGA for undergrad. I went to NYITCOM at Arkansas State for medical school. I enjoy spending time with my golden doodle, Magnolia. I like doing things outdoors. I am excited to be in Connecticut because my family is from the Northeast. My interest are cardiology and intensive care.

I am from Ashburn, Virginia, and attended the University of Virginia (go Hoos!) for my undergraduate education. After college, I worked as a behavioral therapist and then attended St. George’s University for my medical degree. My professional interests include women’s health, hematology/oncology, and recently, cardiology! In my free time, I enjoy chipping away at my bucket list of visiting every U.S. national park, working on my photography skills, interior designing, and finding new restaurants to try.

I was born and raised in Bangalore, India and earned my medical degree from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute. I am passionate about holistic medicine and being an advocate of good health. My professional interests include pulmonary and critical care medicine. In my free time, I love dancing and exploring various forms of art like pencil sketching, mandalas and crafting to name a few. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and the adventurer in me pushes me to explore national parks across the country. Looking forward to the journey ahead.
