I look forward to moving to the beautiful Seattle area and joining the world class faculty and staff of UW Plastic Surgery.

Why UW?

I chose UW because of the unparalleled depth and breadth of its clinical training, as well as the amazing culture of its residents and faculty.

What advice do you have for incoming interns?

I am an incoming intern, so my advice to myself: keep your head up, be forgiving of yourself, and always remember why you chose a career in medicine!

What do you like best about living in Seattle?

It’s proximity to all nature has to offer, and the many amazing food options throughout the city!
