“Am I science, or am I soul?”

Fae is a neuroscientist, poet and medical student.

Raised in a seacoast New Hampshire town, Fae attended Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts for her undergraduate studies, where she graduated summa cum laude with degrees in Behavioral Neuroscience and Ethics. As an undergrad, Fae worked in several neuroscience labs at Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Boston Children’s Hospital that investigated the neurotherapeutic applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorder. Following college, Fae worked as an Emergency Department medical scribe at the Massachusetts General Hospital. During this time, she published her first book of poetry, titled Journals of a Visitor: A Medical Scribe’s Accounts of Love, Healing and Self-discovery (Shanti Publishing, 2020). Her academic research has appeared in journals such as The Journal of Emergency Medicine, Clinical Neurophysiology, and Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience. Her medical humanities writing has appeared in Pulse-voices from the heart of medicine, KevinMD.com, and The Healing Muse.

 Fae is currently a medical student in Chicago, Illinois. She aims to combine the worlds of clinical medicine, medical device research, and the medical humanities as a means to innovatively and equitably respond to emerging societal challenges. As an aspiring physician-writer, Fae aims to use the narrative medicine to empower and educate the next generation of healthcare providers.
