Hello! My name is Ernaya, and I'm a rising MS3. I proudly call North Carolina home! I graduated from Harvard College in 2020 with a degree in Neuroscience, and afterward, I returned to earn my Master's in Biomedical Sciences here at Duke.  After that, I had the opportunity to work with a great team at the Duke Blood Cancer Clinic, where I helped manage a SOC assessment program for allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients and conducted research. My gap years were also filled with a variety of experiences from helping care for an older family member, buying and renovating a fixer-upper, working as an EMT, to serving at Chili's! I love baking, listening to podcasts, collecting stationery, and running (slowly). Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
