Biography

I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2009 with a degree in neuroscience and an interest in medical anthropology. I graduated with my MPhil in Social Anthropology from the University of Cambridge in 2013 and with my medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I'm pursuing psychiatric residency training at the Cambridge Health Alliance / Harvard Medical School program. I am interested in the broader political, social, and economic context of health and mental illness. The magnitude of existing social inequities calls for a better understanding of the relationships among poverty, social disadvantage, and vulnerability to mental illness. I am also interested in improving psychiatric care to linguistic and ethnic minority groups, as well as refugees and immigrants.
