How I fell in love with neurology:
I knew neurology was what I wanted to do by the second day of my required neurology clerkship in medical school. Prior to that experience, I had no idea that I would even be interested in neurology. It’s full of puzzles, and I’m really drawn to the way neurologists think.

Three things people may not know about me:
