Bio:
I was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in 2018 and a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering in 2019. In medical school, I quickly developed an interest in the interface between engineering and medicine. During my third year in medical school, I discovered the field of Radiation Oncology. I found the field fascinating and the connection with cancer patients extremely rewarding. It was a natural fit with my background in engineering and applied physics. I look forward to experiencing, firsthand, the wide array of pathology found at the University of Washington. In particular, I hope during my surgical internship to gain further insight into a surgeon’s management of an oncologic condition.
Personal Interests:
During my free time, I enjoy reading, playing piano, trying new recipes and cocktails, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.
Clinical Interests:
Radiation oncology, multimodal cancer therapy, brachytherapy, radiopharmaceuticals and theranostics
Why UW?
I chose the University of Washington due to the spectrum of experiences I will encounter during my intern year. From trauma at Harborview Medical Center to minimally invasive and thoracic surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center, I will have the opportunity to partake in the care of patients with a near limitless combination of disease presentation, socioeconomic status, and clinical decision making. In addition, as a future Radiation Oncologist, I chose the University of Washington for its strong connection with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and the opportunities there to participate in highly specialized tumor boards.
What advice do you have for incoming interns?
My advice for incoming intern is to never be afraid to ask someone for guidance. All members of the care team have a unique perspective in treating a patient, and their ability to offer help is only a message away. Lend support to co-residents and set aside personal time for yourself and a favorite hobby or activity.
What do you like best about living in Seattle?
The ability to be outside all times of the year due to the temperate climate yet experience, to some degree, all four seasons. I enjoy the seafood, coffee, and beer scenes.
