Aye graduated from University of Medicine, Mandalay, Myanmar, and has been working with her mentor neurologist, one of only three neurologists covering the Upper Myanmar region of 23 million population. Through her experiences witnessing the challenges faced by patients in underserved areas and hearing their stories, Aye is dedicated to advancing health equity, global health initiatives, and various aspects of neurology, both in clinical practice and medical education. She is going to apply for a neurology residency program this year. Outside of work, she spends time playing piano, jogging along trails, and listening to music.
