Hometown: Alexandria, Egypt
Maggi was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. She attended medical school in Egypt, where she obtained her master’s degree in dermatology and finished Dermatology residency training at Sohag University. She decided to pursue a doctoral degree in surgical treatment of vitiligo, so she joined Dr. John Harris’s vitiligo clinic and research center, where she learned how to translate scientific discoveries to design new treatment approaches and contributed to the forefront of clinical research. She used her skills as a clinician to study new treatments for vitiligo and worked with UMass procedural dermatologists to successfully optimize and modify surgical transplantation as a cutting-edge treatment for patients with pigmentary skin disorders. Maggi successfully earned her clinical and translational PhD degree in dermatology from the University of Massachusetts, and then finished her surgical internship year at the University of Massachusetts.
Maggi aspires to be an academic dermatologic surgeon with a focus on surgical dermatology, laser, cosmetic surgery, and pigmentary disorders with particular interest in vitiligo. She loves teaching and medical education.
Apart from work, Maggi enjoys spending time with family, driving by the lake, listening to music, flower arrangement, and reading at Lamar Souter Library. -
