I was born in Ukraine, but raised in Brooklyn, NY.  I completed all my education there until I went to the American University of Antigua for medical school.  I'm very excited to join the team at St. Bernards and continue the next chapter of my medical journey helping this wonderful community. Outside of being inside books; I love spending time with friends and family, looking for the next "hot spot" to eat, traveling and binge watching TV shows with my fiance.

I grew up in India and moved to the United States when I was 13 years old.  Upon finishing high school in California, I went back to India for medical school.  I am very passionate about primary care and I believe St. Bernards is an ideal place to train and practice as an internal medicine physician.  My family has always been my support system and I absolutely love spending time with them.  Apart from that, I love to swim, cook and watch movies.  I truly believe the mantra, "face your failures boldly and a greater good will always follow."
