Hobbies and Interests: I’m an outdoor enthusiast at heart and I try to spend most of my free time doing things outside. My favorite outdoor activities are hiking, camping & backpacking, trail running, paddle boarding, and skiing. I also play ice hockey and will hang out with your dog no questions asked. 
 

Why Fresno: I am so grateful to have the opportunity to train at UCSF Fresno. This institution is well known for excellent clinical training, and while interviewing I could see that the emergency department has a great culture with its faculty and residents. I did a clinical rotation here while in PA school and I was amazed by the variety of unusual and complicated clinical scenarios that come to this hospital. The location is also excellent, being so close to national parks and not too far from larger cities. I’m excited to learn here and explore more of the surrounding area!
