Bio:
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. I graduated from Indiana University in 2020 with degrees in neuroscience and Spanish. That same year, I moved back to Indianapolis to start medical school at Indiana University School of Medicine. I was fortunate to discover a wide range of interests in medical school, getting involved in everything from addiction in medical education to spinal cord injury research. I graduated in 2024 with a concentration in the business of medicine and now, as a proud first-generation college student and physician, am thrilled to continue the next phase of my training at UW!

Why UW?
UW not only presents the opportunity to work with and learn from leaders in the field, but it also offers an unparalleled and wholly unique clinical experience. With one of the largest catchment areas in the nation and the region’s only level 1 trauma center, the depth and diversity of cases are truly unmatched. Most importantly, however—and the reason I ultimately chose UW—is the incredible culture of the program. There is genuine camaraderie among residents and a strong commitment to education from attendings and seniors alike. I have felt nothing but support since my arrival and feel lucky to call UW home.
What advice do you have for incoming interns?
Find your system, and remember that to best take care of others, you have to take care of yourself, too.
What do you like best about living in Seattle?
Seattle has it all. It’s a beautiful city that seamlessly blends itself into the nature around it. There are three national parks within a few hours’ drive along with a slew of state and local parks, nearly all of which come with breathtaking views of the surrounding ocean and mountains. Between the easy access to nature and the great food, music, and art scenes, it’s never hard to find something to do.
