Yeli is originally from Massachusetts but received her undergraduate degree from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where she majored in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neurobiology and Behavior. She then moved to Rochester, New York for medical school, during which she loved both her Neurology and Pediatric rotations. This prompted her to pursue a career in Child Neurology. She is excited to be moving to Nashville with her partner, John.

In her free time, Yeli enjoys baking, watching mystery shows, going on walks, and checking out the local coffee shop scene. Having only lived in the Northeast thus far, she is excited to explore a new part of the country and all the sights and activities within Nashville.
