During her time there, she found a passion for addressing injustices in health, especially in urban communities. She is really excited to join SAPE this year and to begin conversations with peers about how we can support survivors and address a deep-rooted culture of sexual misconduct as both students and future physicians. In her free time, you can catch her shopping at Trader Joe’s, cooking (food from TJ’s), or walking through Rock Creek Park and admiring all of the amazing dogs!
