I am a cheerful, introverted, and independent individual. I grew up in New Jersey, and moved to DC for college, where I earned a degree in English Literature at Georgetown University. After a ten year hiatus, I recently returned to New Jersey for a fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. I am a bibliophile, nature lover, aspiring yogi, sugar addict, and proud parent of 5 thriving houseplants. I believe in striving to improve myself and the world around me, learning something new every day, and day dreaming often. I am also a staunch supporter of the Oxford comma, and have an irrational fear of squirrels - they can’t be trusted.
