I am a graduate from the accelerated BA/MD program at New Jersey Institute of Technology '13 and St. George’s University School of Medicine '18. I completed my family medicine residency at the Rutgers RWJ Family Medicine Residency Program at CentraState. I practice as a primary care physician with interests in informatics, data science and policy.
I have over 10 years experience in photography. I started in landscape, travel and astrophotography with an increasingly strong background in portraiture and event photography. I am always open to new opportunities to shoot during my free time.
I love the process of learning and take the experiences and lessons that come from every venture as invaluable lessons for the future. I have experience in developing and managing a biotechnology startup and would love to return to this space in the future as opportunities allow.
“…when people see things from multiple perspectives, working together becomes more efficient.”
-Kevin Ly
I enjoy a lot of things that are seemingly unrelated but I make an effort to combine them in a way to allow myself to do things I enjoy using the skills I know to accomplish tasks in ways that have not been done before.
I try to be the best that I can be at everything I do and push myself even when others think it is good enough. Most times I am never satisfied with myself but I use that to promote progress and refinement rather than a discouragement from success. I often push myself to learn new and drastically different things. Based purely on my childhood, it would be hard to imagine I ever had any interest in becoming a physician but now reflecting back, I believe my multi-perspective learning with passions in various fields of study will contribute to a better foundation for approaching problems in medicine.
Most people are surprised when they ask me how long I’ve been doing something because they expect me to say years when in reality I’ve only been doing it for months. I attribute this to the focus I have to accomplishing and mastering each skill at a time rather than all at once while still retaining the bigger picture and seeing how each part fits together to accomplish a larger task.
