I am currently completing my research year at the University of California, San Francisco under the mentorship of Dr. Esther Kim and Dr. Alexander Lin. I am a Bay Area native and graduated from UC Berkeley where I studied Physiology and Metabolism. Following this year, I will be entering my fourth year of medical school at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. I was drawn to plastic surgery for its blend of innovation, creativity, and the meaningful impacts on diverse patient populations. Outside of medicine, I enjoy coaching figure skating (retired competitively in 2019), weightlifting, escape rooms, and board games with friends and family!
