Bio:
I was born in a town called Yakima located in Eastern Washington State, but spent the majority of my childhood growing up in Auburn, WA. I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Washington where I was involved in inorganic chemistry research as well as a neurobiology laboratory where I investigated opiate withdrawal pathways in mice models. After graduating, I matriculated to the University of Washington School of Medicine where I developed an early interest in plastic and reconstructive surgery. I feel extremely grateful to be staying in Seattle for my plastic surgery training where I will be able to continue learning from close colleagues and mentors.
Personal Interests:
Hiking, running, playing tennis, climbing, snowboarding, trying new restaurants, and cooking
Clinical Interests:
Microsurgery, working with immigrant/refugee and underserved populations, global health
Why UW?
UW offers an extremely diverse, unparalleled clinical experience, in addition to a very collegiate and supportive working environment among the residents and faculty which were the two most important aspects I was looking for in a training program. In addition, as someone born and raised in Washington state, I wanted to be able to serve the WWAMI region and give back to the communities I grew up in.
What do you like best about living in Seattle?
The endless opportunities for outdoor exploration during all four seasons. As someone who loves the outdoors, I enjoy getting to experience the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest from hiking the national parks in the summer, to hitting the many nearby ski resorts in the winter. I am also excited to be nearby home and my support network.
