# Anna Sappington Resident Tutor Pre-Med ![Anna Sappington](/sites/g/files/omnuum4581/files/styles/hwp_4_5__480x600/public/quincyhouse/files/sappington_anna_m1_001.jpeg?itok=PxdU_RAd) email Hi Penguins! I’m so excited to be returning to the Quincy House community this year. I grew up near Annapolis, MD and first came to the Boston area to do my undergraduate studies in Computer Science and Molecular Biology at MIT. After graduating in 2019, I spent two years in the UK as a Marshall Scholar where I received a master’s in Machine Learning at UCL and a master’s in Genomic Medicine at Cambridge. I returned to Boston in 2021 to join the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD Program. I’ve finished half of medical school and am currently working on my PhD in Computer Science at MIT building biologically-inspired machine learning models for proteins, supported by a Hertz Fellowship. When not in the clinic or doing research, I love running along the Charles River, hiking, and trying to incorporate Old Bay seasoning into a new recipe (any fellow Marylanders will understand!!). One of my go-to fun facts is that I used to dogsled in the winter and I still get way too excited for snow. I also love teaching, dance, writing, and music of all kinds. Recently, I’ve started getting into jazz via my partner Vaibhav, who is also a resident tutor! Happy to chat about anything at all: medicine, research, computer science, fellowships, nature, college, life – or just catch up over a cup of tea (we have a whole cabinet full!). - ## Advising Area [Medicine](/advising-area/medicine) - ## House Role [Resident Tutor](/house-role/resident-tutors) - ## Tutor Role [Fellowships](/tutor-role/fellowships) [Pre-Med Committee Chair](/tutor-role/pre-med-committee-chair)
