About Me

She was a Regent’s Scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she graduated with a B.S. in Biochemistry and a Minor in English.

After working as a validation engineer at a pharmaceutical company for two years, she earned her degree in medicine from the University of Southern California, where she was selected for membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. She then completed her residency training and chief residency at the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, Irvine, followed by a fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California. In addition, she was selected to participate in a two-week preceptorship at the National Institutes of Health, which was sponsored by the Endocrine Fellows Foundation.
