I chose the Pitt/CMU MSTP program because I felt a strong sense of community during second look. People were more interested in how they could help me understand if the school was a good fit for me, rather than convince me that it was; and that level of transparency was something I knew that I needed in a program.
In addition, this program cares about making you a good physician-scientist, and it shows that by nurturing your research interest and not forcing you to stay committed to one thing. I found my passions in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute and I can genuinely say that I am very excited to conduct research during my PhD years.
Outside of the program, I love training for hyrox, lifting, run club, electronic dance music, and anime! A fun fact about me is that I have 16 siblings and in a past life could run a mile in 4:05.

Education & Training
I am currently studying how an artificial intelligence (AI) based system can be designed to
(1) support clinicians in making better decisions while preserving and enhancing their reasoning abilities and
(2) to empower patients to be active interpreters and decision makers in their care.
