I graduated from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities in 2022 with a Bachelor's of Arts in Human Physiology and a minor in Integrative neuroscience. I took 3 gap years prior to matriculating into medical school. In those years I worked on research/quality improvement and patient safety projects in the pediatric intensive care unit at Children's Minnesota, taught swimming lessons, traveled, and spent time with friends & family. I am extremely passionate about health disparities, public health, quality improvement, and patient safety. Outside of medicine, I enjoy hiking, camping, traveling, swimming, mediocrely playing uke & guitar, and reading!
