I come from the “Land of Many Waters,” Guyana, where I completed medical school at the University of Guyana. I subsequently worked at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation for approximately three years, where my passion for Internal Medicine developed.  

I chose Englewood Health for residency because of the warm and welcoming environment I immediately experienced among the residents and faculty. The program takes a well-rounded approach to resident education, with a strong focus on developing clinical skills while also encouraging research, leadership, and professional development. I have also valued the cultural diversity of both our residents and patients, which has enriched my experience both personally and professionally.

During my time at Englewood, I have grown tremendously, particularly as a leader. The program has challenged me to become a better version of myself while teaching me how to support and bring out the best in others. As Chief Resident, my goal is to foster a strong sense of teamwork and community while creating an environment in which residents feel supported in their development and empowered to pursue their individual goals.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy being close to New York City while also taking advantage of the many natural escapes New Jersey has to offer.  

After completing my Internal Medicine residency, I plan to pursue fellowship training in Critical Care Medicine.

I am originally from Fuheis, Jordan, and graduated from the University of Jordan School of Medicine. After medical school, I completed a transitional year at King Hussein Cancer Center before moving to the United States to begin my Internal Medicine residency at Englewood Hospital. 

My experience at Englewood has been an important part of my growth as a physician. From the beginning, I have felt fortunate to train in an environment characterized by approachable faculty, strong mentorship, and a genuine sense of teamwork. The close relationships among residents, faculty, nurses, and staff have created a welcoming and supportive environment where I have been able to develop my clinical skills, grow professionally, and become more confident as a physician. 

I am honored to serve as the ICU Chief Resident this year. In this role, I look forward to supporting my colleagues, contributing to resident education, and fostering collaboration within the multidisciplinary critical care team. I also hope to help create an ICU learning environment where residents feel supported as they develop the clinical judgment, confidence, and teamwork required to care for critically ill patients. 

After residency, I plan to pursue fellowship training in Hematology and Oncology, a field that has interested me since early in my medical training. I am drawn to its clinical complexity, the continuous advances in treatment, and, most importantly, the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients and their families. 

I was born in Oxford, Mississippi, and raised in California and South Korea before spending most of my life in New Jersey. I graduated from the Rutgers University Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and worked as a clinical pharmacist before returning to medical school at the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine in San Antonio, Texas. 

I love being part of the Englewood Internal Medicine Residency Program because of its supportive environment and diversity. Training at Englewood has exposed me to a wide range of complex and challenging clinical cases while also providing opportunities to pursue research and grow beyond clinical medicine. Most importantly, I have found a community where residents and faculty genuinely support one another, making my experience here both personally and professionally rewarding. 

Research has become an important part of my training. I have had the opportunity to present my work nationally and contribute to database studies and peer-reviewed publications, while developing a particular interest in gastroenterology. As Research and Social Media Chief, I hope to connect residents with opportunities that reflect their interests, help them develop their research skills, and provide a platform to showcase their accomplishments. Mentorship has also been an important part of my own journey, and I look forward to supporting residents as they pursue their individual academic and career goals. 

Outside of the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new aquariums and museums, trying local restaurants, and discovering new hiking trails. After residency, I hope to pursue fellowship training in Gastroenterology. 

I am from Sudan and was born in Saudi Arabia. My journey in medicine has taken me across different countries, healthcare systems, and communities. After completing medical school in Sudan and gaining clinical experience in both Sudan and Saudi Arabia, I came to the United States to pursue Internal Medicine residency at Englewood Health. These experiences have shaped my approach to medicine and strengthened my appreciation for compassionate, patient-centered care across diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I chose Englewood’s Internal Medicine Residency Program for its welcoming culture, strong clinical training, and commitment to resident education. The supportive relationships among residents, faculty, and staff have created an environment where I have been able to grow both clinically and personally. Caring for Englewood’s diverse patient population has also strengthened my interests in medical education, leadership, quality improvement, and academic medicine.

Teaching and mentorship have been important to me throughout my medical journey, from coordinating medical student education during the pandemic to mentoring interns and fellow residents. As Didactics Chief Resident, I look forward to creating engaging and meaningful educational experiences that encourage residents to think critically, ask questions, and learn from one another. I also hope to support my co-residents and foster a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and humility.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy working out and spending time with friends.

I’m originally from Sudan and earned my medical degree from the University of Khartoum. Growing up in Sudan, I was surrounded by a culture that places a strong emphasis on family, hospitality, and community. Some of my favorite memories center around gathering at a table, sharing a meal, and making people feel at home. My journey to the United States took me through Saudi Arabia before eventually bringing me to Englewood Hospital. Moving between different countries, cultures, and healthcare systems has taught me to be adaptable, resilient, and, perhaps most importantly, to find a little bit of home wherever I go.

I chose Englewood because of its strong sense of community and the people who make the program what it is. From my first day here, I found a supportive environment where residents are encouraged to grow, ask questions, and challenge themselves while still looking out for one another. Training at Englewood has shaped me not only as a physician, but also as a person, and I’m especially grateful for the mentors, friendships, and experiences I’ve gained along the way.

As Scheduling Chief Resident, I’m excited to take on a role that combines leadership, organization, and creative problem-solving. I genuinely enjoy bringing the pieces of a schedule together, finding solutions when there are competing needs, and making sure everyone’s voice is heard. Serving as chief has given me a new appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps a residency program running smoothly while also giving me the opportunity to support my co-residents and contribute to the program in a meaningful way.

Outside of the hospital, I enjoy cooking, hosting friends and family, traveling, trying new foods, and discovering new places. I’m grateful that my journey brought me to Englewood and excited for the opportunity to give back to a program and community that have become such an important part of my story.
 

I am originally from Sudan, where I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Khartoum and began my career practicing medicine. My journey later brought me to the United States to pursue Internal Medicine residency at Englewood. Moving across continents and transitioning into a new healthcare system was both an exciting and transformative experience that taught me adaptability, resilience, and the importance of approaching medicine with an open mind.

What drew me to Englewood was its welcoming environment, diverse patient population, and strong sense of community. Over the years, what has stayed with me most is the people. I have been fortunate to learn from mentors who guided and supported me, colleagues who became friends, and patients who continuously remind me why I chose medicine. Englewood has become more than a place where I trained—it is a community that has helped shape the physician and leader I am today.

As Ambulatory Chief Resident, I work closely with residents and faculty to enhance the clinic experience, support residents as they develop their skills in ambulatory medicine, and connect them with opportunities for community outreach. This role has taught me that leadership is often less about having all the answers and more about listening, bringing people together, and finding meaningful ways to make things better.

My time at Englewood has also deepened my passion for geriatric medicine. Caring for older adults has taught me to look beyond diagnoses and medications and focus on what matters most to each person—their independence, dignity, and quality of life. It is a perspective I hope to carry with me as I pursue fellowship training in Geriatric Medicine.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy cooking, hiking, spending time with family and friends, and exploring different cuisines. I am grateful for the friendships, mentorship, and experiences I have gained at Englewood and look forward to carrying those lessons with me into the next chapter of my career.
