COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma in the Treatment of High Risk COVID-19 Disease

My research involved evaluating the efficacy and safety of Covid-19 Convalescent Plasma in treating patients with high-risk Covid-19 disease.


  • What inspires you to do research?
    My main inspiration for research is ultimately to improve patient care and patient outcomes.
  • Where do you hope to do your residency and why?
    I am undecided on what residency I want to pursue at the moment. My most likely destinations I would say are here in North Carolina, Ohio (where I am from), or out West in a place like Colorado.
  • Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
    I love to run and be outdoors. The weekend before MSRD I ran my first 50K Ultra!
