I am in my fourth year of psychiatry residency at Tulane University. I am Chief Resident, and I also serve on the Tulane Wellness Committee. My professional interests include outpatient and inpatient psychiatry, mood disorders, and psychotherapy. I have presented my research on the effects of early REM sleep deprivation on young rats at regional and national conferences.
