About

Medicine, research, and a little olive oil.

I'm a student in the BS/DO program at the New York Institute of Technology. I'm passionate about medicine and research, and my goal is to become a surgeon.

This past summer I was a research intern in the Department of Surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, studying anti-inflammatory methods for treating lymphedema. I'm also a co-assistant research director at the Emet Outreach Biomedical Ethics Fellowship.

Outside of school, I co-founded Elaios Olive Oil with a friend in 2025. We source the freshest oil directly from Greece and bottle it here in New York City. Before NYIT, I graduated from Rambam Mesivta with Dean's List honors all four years.
