Biographical Sketch
Aly is a first-year neurology resident currently interested in neuroimmunology and movement disorders. She grew up in Harrisburg, PA, but now calls Pittsburgh home since spending over 7 years here for undergrad, a gap year in Scleroderma clinical research, and her medical student clinical years prior to residency. When she’s not at the hospital, she loves exploring Pittsburgh restaurants with her husband, practicing hot yoga in Shadyside, attempting to learn songs on the piano/ukelele, and spending time with her mini-Australian Shepherd.
