Biography

Peace! I grew up in Pleasantville, New Jersey a small city next to Atlantic City. I majored in Biological Sciences at Rutgers University (RU RAH RAH) and subsequently obtained an MD from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Current Chief Resident of the Interventional Psychiatry Service. I am a member of Alpha Omega Alpha and am an APA Diversity Leadership Fellow. Clinically, I am particularly interested in novel pharmacological interventions and their application in the treatment of mood disorders and substance use disorders. This interest includes the exciting return of psychedelics to the field of psychiatry.
