Education

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May of 2007. My area of specialization was biomedical instrumentation and bioimaging. I also earned a minor in Bioengineering, and took numerous courses in math, chemistry, biology, computer science, and business in preparing for medical school. During my time at the campus, I researced in physiology and electrical engineering labs, worked as a Resident Advisor, was a camp counselor for a summer engineering camp for high school seniors, interned at Motorola for a summer, started an investment club (Illinois Investment Club), and volunteered regularly.

I am currently enrolled at Rush Medical College, planning to earn my Medical Doctorate in June of 2011. I plan on pursuing diagnostic and interventional radiology, with hopes of becoming a physician-scientist. I have researched at the Mallinkrodt Institute of Radiology working on an interventional radiology project. During my time in medical school, I have co-ran the Radiology Interest Group, been the IT director of the Internal Medicine Interest Group, and volunteered regularly at Franciscan, Community Health, Chicago Christian Industrial League free health clinics, Marrah’s place (women’s shelter), Buddies’ program, and many of the Rush health fairs.
