Bio
I'm currently a senior resident physician at UT Dell Medical School in the Department of Psychiatry. I have specific interests in several areas of psychiatric medicine including treatment resistant depression, emerging and novel pharmacologic modalities, and addiction medicine. Prior to my career in medicine I was involved in founding a health and fitness start up in the technology sector. On a personal level, I have a strong interest in exploring the outdoors, cooking, and staying active. But perhaps my greatest passion is travel and living outside of my comfort zone - I've been extremely fortunate to have visited over 30 countries all across the globe.Project ideas

Creating a like-minded group would allow a student to exercise leadership skills, Organizing and choosing to select and organize a formal journal club which would allow for review, analysis, and discussion of relevant research papers in
