 Interest in Geriatrics:
I felt a pull from the field of geriatrics as it exemplifies taking holistic care of an individual with multiple co-morbid conditions, by incorporating the complex socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and personal aspects into their medical decision-making. 

What are your favorite Central MA activities?
Enjoying the cuisine of local restaurants, and exploring the innumerable hiking trails.

Why did you choose UMass Chan Medical School for your Geriatric Medicine Fellowship?
I thoroughly enjoyed my residency at this institution and wanted to come back to complete my journey through fellowship. During my residency, I was fortunate enough to get to know some of the geriatricians in the department, some of whom had a lasting impression on me and inspired me to return and learn more from them. Additionally, UMass is a large academic center with many specialists working in concert with the geriatrics division —not to mention the multiple nursing homes/rehabs affiliated with the division. This made me confident I was going to get the necessary experience needed to become a well-rounded geriatrician.
