Doctor Stereotypes Redefined

I work with communities to improve access to cancer care.

Help people find their way in a confusing hospital.

Saving lives and bringing smiles. I brought composure and happiness, although for a short while, to my first case in med school who was suffering from cancer and the after-effects of chemotherapy. Sometimes just listening and being empathetic relieves people from their grief and helps them find their inner child again.

I collaborate with individuals living with chronic mental illnesses to support them in managing their health and navigate the complex health system.

I have helped to organize a local / regional / national gun buyback program called Goods for Guns that has collected thousands of weapons off the streets of Central Massachusetts and beyond.
