What are the strengths of your training program?
The strengths of the program at Duke include the extensive history of the program, the thymus transplantation program for patients with congenital athymia, and outstanding consultants and teachers who are widely recognized in the field of allergy and immunology. 

How are you involved in research? What are your research interests?
I am particularly interested in immunological conditions and therapies in children as well as the management of socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. I am not only interested in the research itself but also in real-world applications in the clinical space.

How do you spend your time outside of work?
I enjoy running outside, exploring new hiking trails, discovering new cooking recipes, and playing pickleball with my friends and family.
