Hi everyone!
I'm a medical student at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where I’ve dedicated the past few years to studying and researching kidney and liver transplantation. My passion for this field began during an organ procurement surgery I assisted in three years ago—an experience so powerful, it inspired me to become an organ donor myself. Since then, I’ve immersed myself in transplant surgery, presented research at international conferences, and worked alongside incredible patients and professionals who’ve shown me just how life-changing organ donation can be.
This fall, I’m running the NYC Marathon with LiveOnNY, an organization I've collaborated closely with in the hospital and whose mission deeply aligns with mine: to advocate for organ, eye, and tissue donation and to honor the gift of life. Running has always been a grounding force for me and now, I’m using it to raise awareness.
Every dollar donated goes directly toward supporting LiveOnNY’s efforts to increase donor registration and save lives. Thank you for supporting this cause and joining me on this journey!
