I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, though my family’s background is mainly Jordanian and Palestinian. As a child, I alternated between Jordan and Puerto Rico, ultimately staying in Puerto Rico for college. I earned a B.S. in biomedical sciences from UPR Ponce and an M.D. from Ponce Health Sciences University. My goal is to specialize in adult congenital heart disease, though I’m open to exploring other career paths depending on my experiences during residency. In my free time, I enjoy reading books and manga, watching anime, hanging out with friends, and occasionally playing Pokémon for nostalgia. I’m excited to embark on this new journey with my med-peds colleagues and look forward to the next four years with this amazing program.

I grew up in Oklahoma City, OK for the majority of my life. I went to the University of Oklahoma for undergrad, where I received my BS in Psychology with minors in Spanish & Medical Humanities. I received my medical degree at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, where I fell in love with Med-Peds. My goal is to be a Med-Peds hospitalist in the future but I'm excited to explore all the things this specialty has to offer during my residency training! Some of my hobbies include cultural dancing (mainly Bollywood fusion, hip-hop, and bhangra), painting, and exploring local restaurants and coffee shops around me. I can't wait to explore Tampa, FL and to be a part of the USF family! 

Initially born in Bangalore, India, I immigrated to Florida in 2001 with my family and have been raised in the Tampa Bay area ever since. I am so proud to call this beautiful city my home. I attended the University of South Florida's 7-year B.S./M.D. program, receiving my Bachelor's in Biomedical Sciences/Biophysics and eventually my Doctor of Medicine degree. After my third year of medical school, I also took a two-year hiatus to obtain a Master of Public Health degree in Global Disaster Management, Humanitarian Relief, and Homeland Security through the USF College of Public Health. My first year of residency is my 10th year at USF, bringing me closer to my goal of studying here longer than K-12. My professional passions are generalist care, hospital medicine, lifestyle medicine, and medical education. In my free time, I enjoy playing music with my family, playing basketball, collecting retro Nintendo handhelds, and traveling above all. My soul is happiest when my wanderlust is satisfied. I am also the world's most devout follower of the principles of Winnie-The-Pooh. As far as the future goes, I am in love with this program and everything it offers. I am insanely grateful to be part of this family, part of this city, and part of the journey this residency will give me!

Hailing from South Carolina, I grew up in the little town of Lexington, just outside of Columbia. I attended Clemson University for my undergraduate education, where I studied Health Sciences and Biological Sciences. After my four years in Clemson, I moved to the low country to start medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. My current interests are in continuity of care for chronic childhood diagnoses into adulthood. I enjoy the higher acuity of inpatient medicine, but my mind is open to the many fellowship and career opportunities that the medicine-pediatrics training opens the door too. Outside of medicine, I enjoy trying new restaurants and cuisines, visiting the many beautiful beaches, and supporting all of our Tampa Bay sports teams. I am always looking for live music and sunshine! Excited to see what this chapter as a USF Bull brings! 

I grew up in Monroe, NC, just outside of Charlotte. I attended the University of South Carolina for my undergraduate education where I studied biology. I worked as a medical assistant for two years in Columbia, SC before returning to the University of South Carolina to attend medical school. My current career goal in medicine is to work as a hospitalist, ideally combined adult and pediatric. With that being said I am open to the idea of numerous fellowship opportunities and am excited to explore more possibilities throughout residency. Outside of medicine, I enjoy playing video games, basketball, and getting outside in nature. I have also found a new love for golf, although my skills there leave a lot to be desired. I am excited for my next chapter and can't wait to see what Tampa and USF Med/Peds has to offer.

I am originally from Hyderabad, India, and moved to Florida at the age of seven. I attended USF for undergrad and medical school, during which I developed a passion for working with the underserved populations in Tampa Bay. I am excited to continue my journey in Tampa and join the Med-Peds family at USF. Outside of medicine, my interests include traveling, art, photography, shopping, all things Harry Potter, and watching sunsets & sunrises! 

I was born in Ponce and grew up in Villalba, Puerto Rico, surrounded by music (learning guitar, singing, and playing clarinet) and sports (basketball, baseball, volleyball, and track). Following high school, I pursued a bachelor's degree in Industrial Microbiology at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) Mayagüez Campus, later transitioning to the UPR-Medical Sciences Campus. During Medical School I developed a profound passion for Internal Medicine-Pediatrics, with particular interest in Primary Care, POCUS for bedside procedures, and Transition Medicine. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, playing the guitar, singing, watching and playing sports, and listening to podcasts. Thrilled to join the amazing USF Med-Peds family and explore Tampa with my co-residents.

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and attended college at the University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez Campus, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Industrial Biotechnology. Before finishing college, I took a gap year and worked as a Co-Op intern at Amgen, where I set into practice all my knowledge regarding the biopharmaceutical industry and got the chance to lead new drug products projects targeting immunological and oncological problems. I attended medical school at Ponce Health Sciences University, where I exponentially grew as a professional and individual. I am very happy to join the USF Med/Peds family and enjoy of the great weather Tampa Bay has to offer, which would make me feel just like home! My professional interests include palliative care, underserved communities, health disparities and Hematology/ Oncology. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar and singing, exercising, running, and spending time with my family and friends. Fun facts: There’s not one Marvel movie I haven’t seen. Love sweets and desserts!

I was born and raised in Huntsville, AL and attended college at Mississippi State University where I met my now husband as of April 2024. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering and moved to Mobile, AL shortly after to start medical school at the University of South Alabama. I dream of working in primary care and building lifelong friendships with my patients from childhood to adulthood. I also hope to travel abroad on mission trips and serve my community. I have been to Costa Rica and recently traveled to Rwanda for medical mission work in local clinics/hospitals. My favorite things are a good fantasy fiction book, my cat (Lottie), fun restaurants with amazing food, long beach days with margaritas, and a short workout class. I am so excited to live in Tampa, FL (a dream really) with the brightest sun and prettiest beaches while working alongside the awesome people I met while interviewing at USF.

Born and raised in the Sooner State, I also went to the University of Oklahoma for undergrad (go Sooners!). I then moved to the east coast for med school at West Virginia University. While there, I learned about my love for the elderly and the little kids and realized Med-Peds was my passion. I hope in the future to do inpatient medicine on both sides, gallivant around the world and do global health, practice underserved medicine with the local population, and share my excitement with future generations. In my free time, I love rooting for OU football (so excited for Baker Mayfield), taking pictures of anything and everything, hosting get togethers, being outside, and traveling to new places. I hope to hit 30 countries before 30 years old!! Can’t wait for the multitude of sports in Tampa (Go Bucs) and for the new adventures at USF (including the sun!).

I was raised in the Tampa Bay and did my undergraduate work at USF. After that, I stayed local and attended USF MCOM for medical school where I developed a passion for working with underserved populations. Professionally, I plan to practice primary care across the age spectrum. Outside of medicine, I have several interests including reading, cooking (send me your favorite recipes), lifting weights, and training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm extremely excited to join the USF Med-Peds family and see what the future holds!
