Why This Program: Easily the best program in the area, and I like the area for its close proximity to so many natural amenities! Also, after interviewing here, I really got the feel that this program cares about the well-being of its residents and has a great family feel!

Interests within Family Medicine: Pretty broad; I really enjoy public health and working with under-served populations. Primary care behavioral and mental health. 

Hobbies and Interests:I enjoy nearly all things outdoors, especially with my family. I love trying new things, especially food! Music has always been a big part of my life, too; I am always singing or humming something!
