Why did you choose to become part of Michigan State University Neurology?

MSU Neurology is a leader in General Neurology and Interventional Neurology. More importantly it brings a great mix of residents and amazing faculty who are determined to teach. I was struck by these facts doing my interview and fell in love with the program. MSU Neurology was my undisputed top choice amongst my other interviews. I strongly recommend the program to anyone reading this – come and have a look; I guarantee you will be impressed by what you find.

If you were not a doctor, what would you have chosen as a career?

After being bitten by the bug of biology, there was nothing else I would do. Maybe I would have become a high school biology teacher.

Extracurricular interests and activities:

Collecting coins, Antique books and Practicing Indian Classical Music.
