Bio:

I have been very fortunate to have been able to spend time pursuing my education in amazing cities like Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Tampa, and now Seattle! Along my journey through medicine, I also studied public health and trained in the basic sciences. I aspire to merge my understanding of these three fields to help me interface with the different disciplines of our health system and contribute a unique provider perspective to developing initiatives, guidelines, and policies so that I may serve as an agent of positive change in my community.

Personal Interests:

I love animals! Outside of the hospital, you will most likely find me at the zoo, aquarium, or pet shelter. I spent a lot of time on my grandparent’s small family ranch, and I hope to have my own small ranch one day so that I can raise and care for all kinds of animals. If I am not busy with animals, I am probably riding rollercoasters or enjoying some of the natural landscapes around town.

Clinical Interests:

Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury, Translational Science, Public Health

Professional Activities:

Gold Humanism Honor Society, Robert A. Good Honor Society
