Biography

I have studied molecular biology, neuroscience, medical humanities, and global ophthalmology at Princeton, Baylor College of Medicine, and Stanford. Through my global fellowship, I established connections with the Himalayan Cataract Project, Aravind, and Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital. I would like to work on health care disparities at home (immigrant, refugee, and incarcerated populations) as well as those abroad, with a focus on South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
