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.

Nick grew up in Mansfield, MA, and attended Boston College where he studied biology. His interest in dermatology began during a gap year position before medical school, where he worked in a local dermatology office and began to understand the wide range of dermatologic conditions and the multitude of treatment modalities that can be offered. He later attended UMass Chan where he expanded his exposure to the field through projects specifically focusing on rheumatology-dermatology, pediatric-dermatology, and dermatologic surgery. He currently completed his intern year at Cambridge Health Alliance and is very much looking forward to rejoining the UMass Derm family. Nick is passionate about mentorship and patient care, and is eager to continue building on both early in dermatology residency. In his free time, Nick enjoys being a foodie with his wife Steph, traveling to new areas, and pretty much any outdoor activity.
