Undergraduate/Medical School: Sophie Davis Program in Biomedical Ed/CUNY School of Medicine

Shirley was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She attended the Sophie Davis Program in Biomedical Education/CUNY School of Medicine, which was a combined BS/MD program focused on addressing social determinants of health and health disparities. Shirley has enjoyed working with the Asian American, immigrant and underserved populations at a federally qualified health center throughout medical school. Her interests led her to a variety of youth development programs, community advocacy projects and hepatology research. Shirley is thrilled to join the Hasbro Family because of the welcoming and diverse community at Brown, emphasis on resident work-life balance and opportunities to further develop her passions. She hopes to combine her interests in advocacy, health policy, mentorship, and education, alongside her clinical practice. Outside of medicine, you can find her hiking in the wilderness, having a solo dance party (feel free to join!), snacking on Bark Thins dark chocolate and spending time with her family and friends. She is excited to explore the food and beach scenes in Rhode Island!
