Bio:
After I graduated from the University of Florida (go gators!) I moved to New Orleans to purse a Master’s in Medical Genetics at Tulane. Subsequently, I decided to do an AmeriCorps service year building houses with the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity. After my AmeriCorps term, I continued working with Habitat as a site supervisor. The following year, I joined the United States Air Force and began medical school Tulane University School of Medicine. I continued to volunteer and lead my peers in building affordable housing in New Orleans during this time. I was privileged to have excellent experiences in my surgical clerkships, and decided to pursue a career in surgery. Upon graduation from Tulane, I was promoted to the rank of Captain in the USAF. I am now so excited to continue my training at UW!
