I am the chief resident in Interventional Radiology, in my final year of training. I am a native New Yorker who loves painting, nature photography, international traveling–including solo traveling, and trying various adrenaline pumping activities at least once in my life. Thus far, I’ve been paragliding, white water rafting, kayaking, taken flying lessons on a Cessna, hiked in a volcano (Mt. Vesuvius, Italy), jet-skiing and more!
