Hobbies, fun facts and interests
I enjoy backpacking, climbing, biking, and truly anything else outdoors. Before medical school, I thru-hiked the PCT (where I met my husband!), and after my M1 year, I bicycled across the country. With these experiences, and growing up in a rural town outside Yosemite, I became interested in wilderness medicine and rural EM.

Why Fresno?
I knew within minutes of my interview that UCSF Fresno was where I wanted to continue training - the high acuity, large catchment area, kind people, easy access to the outdoors, and close to family. Additionally, the wilderness medicine education was an added bonus that solidified my decision!
