Aly was born and raised in Houston, Texas with three younger brothers. She then headed to northwest Massachusetts to attend Williams College where she majored in Math and Chemistry. During Aly's gap year, she worked in Washington, D.C. for a summer before moving back home to work in a lab. She stayed in Houston for medical school at McGovern Medical School at UT Houston. Throughout the next four years, Aly developed her passions for LGBTQ+ health, medical education, political advocacy, and pediatrics, of course.

Outside of medicine, Aly enjoys baking, running, spending time with her family, and trying out new restaurants.
