I was born in Louisville, Kentucky which I have recently learned is the hometown of Muhammad Ali! My family moved to Virginia when I was young and I grew up in the northern Virginia area for most of my life. Throughout high school and undergrad, I spent most of my time practicing Tae Kwon Do until moving to Ireland for medical school. I thankfully got to travel to a few countries during my time in Europe to enjoy the wonderful sights and delicious foods! Am immensely happy to come back to the area and am loving my experience as a pediatric resident and D.C. local.
