Psychiatry Residency - Current Residents

I grew up in Florida and went to college at the University of South Florida where I double majored in Cell and Molecular Biology and Psychology. I worked as an EMT and a research assistant at a child and adolescent psychiatry clinic before going to medical school at the University of South Florida. I wanted to go to Tufts to be exposed to a diverse patient population in an urban setting. In my spare time, I love watching/playing basketball, reading and crosswords. I'm interested in CL psychiatry or outpatient psychiatry.

I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria and moved to Florida at a young age, bouncing between the US and Bulgaria until settling in the metro area of Atlanta, GA when I was around 4. Growing up in such a diverse environment, I always knew I wanted to live and work in a similarly diverse area. I attended the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!), where I earned my BSEd in Exercise and Sport Science before moving on to the University of Central Florida for medical school. Throughout medical school, I was guided by my desire to work with underserved and diverse communities, which ultimately led me to discover psychiatry during my third year. I loved the advocacy work and the opportunity to serve diverse patient populations in the field. I’m thrilled to have matched at Tufts Medicine, where I relocated with my husband, cat, and plants for the next chapter in my career.

I am originally from the Seattle area and attended the University of Washington where I majored in Spanish. Before medical school I spent two years working as an EMT. I am interested in addiction psychiatry and LGBTQ+ mental health. I was so excited to match at Tufts Medicine both for the diverse and undeserved patient population and for the amazing people I met during my interviews. Outside of work I enjoy finding new parks to take my dogs, listening to audiobooks and traveling.

I’m originally from Helsinki, Finland, and I attended medical school at Texas Tech El Paso. I’m thrilled to have matched at Tufts Medicine and to be living in Boston. My clinical interests are CL psychiatry, reproductive psychiatry, and LGBTQ mental health, but I’m open to exploring different areas within the field. When I’m not working, I love to stay active and go hiking with my partner and pets. I’m also really into thrifting and various crafts like painting/drawing and fiber arts. Plus, I love traveling to visit friends and family around the world.
