Kieran was born and raised in the small seaside town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey along the infamous Jersey Shore. He attended Boston College for undergraduate where he studied Biology and Medical Humanities and fostered his passion for working with kids. Having loved Boston so much (apart from the Patriots and Celtics), he attended graduate school at Tufts University where he completed a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences while also working as a medical assistant at a dermatology practice. Thereafter, he completed his medical school training in Albany, New York at Albany Medical College.

Kieran loves sports, running, cooking, country music, and especially the New York Knicks. He is looking forward to escaping the Northeast winters, sampling the local BBQ and brewery scene, and being part of the Vanderbilt community.
