Meet the Team

I’ve known I wanted to be a doctor since I was 5 years old, and my journey to medical school was not an easy one. I also knew that, once I got to medical school, it was going to be even more difficult to stay here; being successful meant staying mentally healthy. So, it was important for me to find a space where I could gain skills and insight into navigating the challenges of medical school in a healthy way. By joining Cope, I was able to connect with other individuals, including medical students at different stages, residents, faculty, etc., going through similar things, and I didn’t feel so alone. Finding that community has meant the world to me, and it is my goal to share it with others.

My passion for humanism in medicine and a desire to learn from more experienced students and clinicians led me to join the Cope Senior Leadership Team. I was especially interested in learning how to struggle effectively, cope with setbacks, and celebrate wins. I have loved getting to learn from others’ perspectives and vulnerabilities shared in our small group conversations. Cope has and is helping me become the best version of myself, so I can in turn help bring out the best in my patients and those around me.
