My dad was so proud of my journey in surgery. He passed away last week, on 3/11/25. I still haven’t figured out what I’m going to do without him. I matched today- I’m going to be a surgeon! I know he was watching over me & I just hope to make him proud #Match2025

The end of the very beginning: officially an MD MBA! I owe everything to the people who have shaped, challenged and supported me: My parents, my mentors, my @CoreLabUCLA home, my @dgsomucla family. I know my dad looking down at me is so proud. I am just so grateful. WE did it!🤍

As a medical student, I've spent countless hours in the hospital... But it turns out that nothing prepares you for your mom getting rolled back to the OR. Grateful for the entire team @MSKCancerCenter for working to cure her cancer today.
