Bio

I am a medical professional with a diverse portfolio of medical, community service, and IT-related experiences. I am especially interested in medicine, the practice of medicine, and medical ethics. Currently, I am pursuing an M.D. at University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville. In my free time, I like to run, read books, listen to classical music, play racquet sports, and scuba dive. Diving is by far my favorite hobby. I obtained my Open Water I certification in 2021 and my Nitrox (Enriched Air) certification in 2022.

This project is a review of the current literature on the glymphatic system including its anatomy and pathophysiology, monitoring methods, and connections between the glymphatic system and nervous system pathological symptoms.

This research project explores the importance of the principial phrase "primum non nocere" or "First, do no harm" in medical ethics and the historical development of the practice of medicine.

Teaching experience
