I spent a year after college working on global health and epidemiology projects in France, Bolivia, and rural China before starting medical school at Yale. I grew up in Houston and attended undergrad at Stanford, majoring in Human Biology with a concentration in Global Health and Infectious Disease. I’m excited to see what the next three years holds! My hope is to one day become both a clinician and innovator, and so far, the program has provided every opportunity towards furthering that endeavor.
The experience was formative and reaffirmed my decision to pursue ophthalmology.ĭuring my residency search, I was drawn to Stanford because of its exceptional clinical training, abundant research opportunities, and close proximity to Silicon Valley. Carol Shields to adapt new imaging techniques for the management of rare intraocular tumors, resulting in several first-author publications. In medical school at Jefferson Medical College, I found myself drawn again to ophthalmology because of the cool gadgets and unique gratification that comes with preserving and restoring vision. My foray into ophthalmology unknowingly began my senior year, when I built a text-to-braille device for senior design. There, I majored in biomedical engineering. I spent my childhood years growing up in Sweden and Boston, MA, before moving to Philadelphia to attend undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania. Outside ophthalmology, I like travelling, photography, and sports including soccer, squash, ping pong, badminton and tennis and the bay area holds perfect opportunities for my interests. My hope is to be a clinician scientist with focus on identification of biomarkers for ocular diseases with a special interest in innovation in ophthalmic imaging, and training at Stanford is a perfect place to start on the path. Additionally, the relationship between faculty and the residents is exceptional which creates a healthy environment for growth. Having a unique opportunity to do clinical research at Stanford, I found the Byers Eye Institute to be a place with a perfect blend of rigorous clinical training and innovative research which is augmented by its location in the Silicon Valley. During the time, I had the opportunity to work on novel imaging modalities for ophthalmic disease as well as co-investigators for several early phase clinical trials, resulting in several publications.
