Tell us a little about your background/training.

‍

I was born and raised in New York, growing up in Long Island and New York City. I completed my Neurology internship and residency at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, with rotations at Mount Sinai, New York University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

‍

I then pursued a fellowship in Sports Neurology and Pain Medicine at the world renowned Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles, California.  

‍

Tell us about why you chose to work in neurology - what interested you most about this field?

‍

Medicine is in my blood - I'm about the 14th in my family to become a healthcare professional. Though I was exposed to many areas of medicine growing up, it wasn’t until medical school that I discovered the power of Neurology.

‍

It's a field where you can solve puzzles and get creative with solutions. The brain is the final frontier of medicine!

‍

What have been the things you are most proud of in your career?

‍

I'm most proud of the grateful and curious patients who are eager to learn, and those who were able to then educate their community of family and friends about neurological health.

‍

What have you learned from your patients that has helped you become a better doctor?

‍

I've learned the incredible power lifestyle changes can make in neurological health. And also, how difficult they can be! It's helped me become a more empathetic and supportive physician.

‍

What are you most excited about regarding your role at Neura?

‍

I'm passionate about educating students and athletes to promote brain health and performance optimization. Neura's platform allows me to reach a wider audience and make a real difference in people's lives.
