Cleo was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and travelled two miles across town to attend Emory University where she graduated with a degree in neuroscience. After taking two gap years between college and medical school, Cleo moved to Rhode Island to attend the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. In medical school, Cleo developed strong interests in medical education, podcasting, and (of course!) pediatrics. Outside of medicine, she loves spending time with family and friends, running, playing board games, exploring new coffee shops, and listening to podcasts and Broadway musical soundtracks. She is excited and honored to move back south to Nashville and join the Pediatric Residency Program at Vanderbilt.
