I'm now starting my second year of medical school at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson. Studying piano under Mrs. Clarfield has greatly influenced my medical studies. As with music, medicine is both a science and an art. With patience and grit, one can learn the technicalities of medicine. With humanity and soul, one can seek transcendence in the human condition. The time spent with Mrs. Clarfield has been a precious honor, teaching me so much about curiosity, resilience, and dignity.

I graduated Internal Medicine residency (it was crazy and so intense, but turned me into a doctor), and now I'm pursuing my dreams of being a hematology/oncology fellow at NYU in the city! Will stop by next time I am home to say hi.
