Meet the Fellows

It has been such a privilege thus far to be able to work with and collaborate with faculty that are leaders in their respective fields within Endocrinology. I'm lucky to be training at a program that will certainly prepare me for a future as a clinician-educator.

I was originally born in India and moved to Michigan since I was 5 years old. I moved around quite a bit growing up. Mainly in Michigan, Indiana, NYC for undergrad, Kentucky for medical school, Arkansas for transitional year residency, and Florida for Internal Medicine Residency. I chose to continue the move and decided to explore the west coast, and what better way to do that than a cross country move to Denver with the most beautiful mountains! UCH drew my attention from the very beginning. Everyone here is incredibly intelligent and approachable. A lot of attendings here are specialized and passionate about specific parts of endocrinology and become everyone’s “go-to” for their area of interest. It really does create a collaborative atmosphere that enables the best learning. In addition, patients travel from everywhere including cross country to be seen at UCH. It allows for the best training and exposure to the most complex cases. Furthermore, looking forward to exploring the mountains soon and going on every hike possible before my two years end here. Who knows what state I will end up in next!

Our fellowship has wonderful collaborations with many other programs (including Peds Endo) on the Anschutz Campus. I feel that the faculty are invested in both my personal and professional life. Colorado and the program are full of easy going and friendly people. I love living in Denver and enjoy running and hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains! Outside of fitness I play a variety of video games and corral a house full of pets (4 cats and 1 dog - I'm not that crazy, promise!). My co-fellows are wonderful and have made the transition to fellowship much easier than I expected!

I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and have been in the states since middle school. I went to medical school in Saint Louis, and completed residency at Dartmouth. Excited to move to Colorado to learn from the amazing faculty, to explore the beautiful mountains as a non-hiker hiker, and to go restaurant hunting. Looking forward to what the next two years will bring!

I am originally from Bakersfield, California and went to UCLA for undergrad and med school. I was a med/peds resident in Houston, TX at Baylor College of Medicine. I am doing a combined Adult and Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship (4 years). I am so happy with my choice to train at the University of Colorado. The program has all the perks of the many other prestigious programs, but in one of the most beautiful parts of the country with nicest people I have ever worked with. It's been the best part of my medical training thus far and I am very grateful to be here.

I grew up in Utah. I studied biochemistry at Harvard and completed my MD/PhD at Indiana University. I first moved to Colorado during my PhD and fell in love with Denver and would later match to Colorado for internal medicine/primary care track residency. I am excited to stay in Colorado for endocrine fellowship for its amazing clinical opportunities to serve diverse patient populations and receive outstanding mentorship in all aspects of endocrinology. My clinical interest is practicing general endocrinology and research interests focus on interventions to improve outcomes related to diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, health disparities using quantitative and epidemiological tools.

I was born in Kerala, in the southern part of India, and have lived in various parts of the country. I completed my medical education at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College in Belgaum. I began my internal medicine residency at the UTRGV-DHR program in McAllen, Texas, and completed the remainder of my training at Highland Hospital in Oakland, California. Throughout my residency, I had the privilege of caring for underserved populations in both Oakland and McAllen. These experiences have shaped my clinical interests, which focus on diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular health—with a strong emphasis on preventive care. My long-term goal is to establish a practice that provides comprehensive endocrine care to underserved communities, promoting equitable access to high-quality healthcare.  I am excited to move to Colorado and learn from the world-class faculty at the University of Colorado. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, practicing yoga, and cooking.

I have enjoyed learning from dedicated faculty who are experts within their field, they are approachable. There are plenty of learning opportunities with exposure to a large catchment area and diverse patient population.
