Hello! I am a R3 at University of Washington in the Internal Medicine Program planning for a career in hospital medicine. I am a triple dawg (undergrad, medical school, and residency at UW). Prior to medical school, I worked as an EMT. Outside of medicine, I enjoy skiing, hiking, cycling and spending time with the people I love. Balance in medicine can be hard to come by, and I am happy to share my experiences about medicine and life.
