About Me

Title(s): Resident

Hi, I’m Priya! I grew up in Columbia, Missouri, and completed both my undergraduate and medical education at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. Go Chiefs! What I love most about medicine is the opportunity to connect with people and create a space where they feel safe and heard. I have a strong interest in women’s health and advocacy. I was drawn to MetroHealth because of its commitment to delivering compassionate care to underserved communities.

I moved to Cleveland with my fiancé, who is a pathology resident. We have two cats named Boots and Cream Soda. Outside of medicine, I’m an avid crafter. Over the years, I’ve tried everything from polymer clay to resin art, and right now, I’m especially into knitting plushies. I also love cooking and exploring new restaurants—Cleveland’s food scene has already given me a long and exciting list of places to try.
