Where are you from?

Tempe, AZ

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

Running, cycling, traveling, thrift shopping, dancing, and exploring new restaurants with my fiancé (we are huge foodies!)

What are your professional interests?

Ultrasound, Wilderness Medicine, Sports Medicine, and Global Health

Why did you choose UA EM?

I chose UofA due to its insane volume, diverse patient population, supportive faculty, amazing fellowship opportunities and immaculate vibes!

Favorite activity in Tucson, or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program?

Tucson is a city with such funky/weird/artsy roots! On top of that the running/cycling infrastructure of Tucson is insane with 100+ miles of paved running/cycling paths. Mt. Lemmon is also like 30 min from the hospital which is an outdoor paradise. The food scene here in Tucson is pretty good too!

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

I hope to become a better runner, dive deeper into the world of cycling, get married, and continue to travel (despite the busy schedule of residency)!
