A little bit about myself...

Bio
Resume
Picture
I'm an Emergency Medicine resident physician with advanced education in healthcare innovation and global medicine. In my career, I have walked three paths: one of service, one of creativity, and one of knowledge. My experiences advocating for my refugee patients at home and working abroad on projects sanctioned by UNICEF and the WHO have taught me that innovative digital solutions can be used to enhance healthcare quality and improve health outcomes around the world.

Along my journey, I've spearheaded efforts to bring technology into medical education by founding several Augmented Reality initiatives. With the support of the incredible teams I worked with along the way, I led novel research examining the impact of virtual reality (VR) in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation and co-invented an innovative and immersive VR simulator that can train healthcare providers to manage acute cardiac events.

Over the past few years, I have brought my background in intercultural health and healthcare innovation to my clinical practice as a resident physician in Emergency Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. Working in a county hospital that primarily serves Houston's underprivileged population, I'm excited to continue providing quality care for my patients and enhance their experiences within the larger healthcare system.
