I am originally from Tbilisi, Georgia, and earned my medical degree from Tbilisi State Medical University, graduating with honors. My passion for internal medicine began during clinical rotations, where I was drawn to the intellectual challenge of complex cases and the continuity of care that internal medicine offers.

I am incredibly grateful to be part of the Englewood Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Program. The program’s combination of rigorous academic training, hands-on clinical experience and supportive mentorship has profoundly shaped my development as a physician. The faculty’s commitment to education and resident well-being, along with strong encouragement to pursue research and quality improvement, has been instrumental in my professional growth.

As a prior ICU chief resident, I had the opportunity to lead a multidisciplinary team in a high-acuity environment, enhance my clinical decision-making, and contribute to improvements in ICU protocols and resident education. That experience deepened my appreciation for leadership, critical care, and collaboration.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy watching TV shows, spending time with friends, and skiing during the winter months.

Upon completion of residency, I plan to pursue a fellowship in gastroenterology with the goal of advancing care in digestive and liver diseases and making a meaningful impact on my patients and community.

Born and raised in Secaucus, New Jersey, my roots and identity are deeply tied to being a Jersey native. After earning my undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from Rutgers University, I went on to obtain my medical degree from Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, remaining in the beautiful Garden State throughout my education.

I chose Englewood’s internal medicine residency program for several reasons, foremost among them is the exceptional culture of kindness and excellence. The attendings, co-residents, nursing staff, and all team members make it a pleasure to come to the hospital every day, and that culture permeates every interaction had in the hospital. With plans to practice primary care in New Jersey after residency, it was essential for me to train in the communities I hope to serve. Englewood’s diverse patient population has prepared me to care for individuals from all walks of life, regardless of race, creed, socioeconomic status, or medical complexity.

Mentorship has been a core element of my life. I have benefited from outstanding mentors throughout my journey, and I am committed to giving back in kind. Since high school, I have been an active educator and tutor across multiple disciplines, and as didactics chief, I look forward to continuing this tradition of mentorship, supporting both current and incoming residents at Englewood.

I’m from the suburbs of Redwood City, California. I attended Columbia University, where I earned a degree in biochemistry. I received my medical degree at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in Nutley, NJ through the Phase 3 Program (P3R)- an accelerated 3-year track for high-performing students. This program allowed me to apply early to Englewood Health, which is known for its exceptional clinical training, inclusive culture and highly regarded teaching faculty.

The internal medicine training at Englewood Health is amazing. We’re provided incredible hands-on clinical training with faculty and attendings, who are proactive in providing mentorship and expertise. We see many unique cases, one of the many benefits of being in the tri-state area. In addition, we have access to many research opportunities, whether it be at Englewood Health or through our connections at nearby institutions such as Mount Sinai, Columbia University, and NYU. Our faculty encourages us to explore the many opportunities we’re given. Furthermore, the culture in this program is supportive and nurturing. We have a strong wellness curriculum here with a wellness committee, which I’m on. Faculty also incorporate wellness into our curriculum.

I’m excited to be chief of scheduling. I love creating resident block schedules, facilitating communication between residents and faculty, and mediating conflict resolution. I look forward to the opportunity to mentor and lead the residents. My goals for the future include working with hospital leadership and becoming an endocrinologist.

My hobbies include watching movies (I grew up in a family video store business), hiking, and listening to French horn music.

I am originally from Sudan and earned my medical degree from the University of Gezira. My passion for internal medicine began during clinical rotations, where I was drawn to the complexity of patient care and the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients.

At Englewood Hospital, I’ve had the privilege of training in a clinically rigorous and supportive environment that has shaped my growth as a physician. I’m excited and honored to step into the role of ICU chief resident, where I look forward to leading a multidisciplinary team, supporting my colleagues, and helping deliver high-quality care to critically ill patients.

In the future, I plan to pursue a fellowship in cardiology, combining my interest in complex cardiovascular care with my dedication to patient-centered medicine.

Outside of work, I enjoy watching TV shows, spending time with friends and exploring the outdoors.

I come from the vibrant city by the sea: Karachi, Pakistan. After moving to the United States, I initially lived in California before beginning my internal medicine training at Englewood Hospital.

Here, I have found a true sense of community—something I am deeply grateful for. This program encourages us to stay curious, embrace diversity, and grow not just as physicians, but as leaders and advocates.

My passion for teaching and mentoring has always been at the heart of my journey, and it’s what led me to embrace the role of chief resident. I hope to lead in a way that empowers others to do the same—to speak up, show up, and lift each other up. I know this experience will be a cornerstone in my development as a well-rounded physician.

Outside the hospital, you can find me chasing down the best spots for halwa puri (a Pakistani breakfast favorite) even if it means a two-hour road trip! I also enjoy playing a competitive game of pickleball and spending time with my family.

I grew up in Tainan, a sunny city in southern Taiwan, and earned my medical degree from Taipei Medical University in Taipei. I completed my initial clinical training as a general medicine resident and house staff at Taipei Veterans General Hospital and its branch, where I developed a strong interest in hematology and oncology. Motivated by this passion, I relocated to the U.S. to pursue internal medicine residency training, with the long-term goal of becoming an academic hematologist-oncologist.

As the current PGY3 chief resident of research and social media, my goal is to help residents achieve their clinical and professional goals. I lead scholarly initiatives within our residency program, mentor junior residents, and strengthen our research curriculum by facilitating engagement through interactive workshops and lectures. I also manage our residency’s social media to raise awareness about our program and highlight the accomplishments of our residents and faculty.

I’m actively involved in research and medical education, with interests in solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, large database studies, and meta-analyses. I’ve authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in these areas, and my work has been recognized with honors such as the Johns Hopkins General Internal Medicine Housestaff Research Award and the American Society of Hematology Resident Award.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy yoga, photography, watching baseball and traveling. I have traveled to more than 15 countries.
