About me
Biography

I grew up in the metro Detroit area. I graduated from Harvard Medical School and completed internal medicine residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital. My research interest within cardiology is how we can improve the quality of care we provide to older adults. I’m still exploring what I am interested in clinically but have loved everything so far. Outside of medicine, I spend most of my time reading novels, exploring Boston, and visiting family.

About me
Biography

I am originally from the New York area and went to college at Columbia University where I studied biology and anthropology. I fell in love with research and spent an extra year prior to medical school working as a research assistant in Dr. Punt and Dr. Emerson’s laboratory studying Immunology. I then went to Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland where I met my husband. We traveled back to NYC for Internal Medicine residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Prior to starting fellowship, I spent one year as a nocturnist at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. I am excited to be starting cardiology fellowship at Tufts and look forward to further exploring my research interests, including cardio-oncology. In my spare time I like to explore the Boston and Cambridge food scenes and enjoy indie movies.

About me
Biography

I grew up in Germany and obtained both a medical and master’s degree in molecular medicine from the Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena, Germany. I then moved to the U.S. and completed my internal medicine residency at Mount Sinai Morningside/West in New York City. While keeping an open mind at this early stage of my cardiology training, my current clinical and scientific areas of interest include heart failure, mechanical circulatory support, and interventional cardiology. Outside the hospital, I enjoy hiking, tennis, and playing piano.
