Current Fellows

I was born and raised in Stockton, California, but married a Coloradan just after college and moved to Aurora for medical school. I’ve been interested in ID as long as I have known about it as a specialty and can’t wait to get started! I love to hang out with my wife and dog, go wine tasting or out to breweries, listen to podcasts, read a wide variety of books, and ski (like every other CO transplant!). Professionally, I’m interested in HIV and urban underserved populations, though I’m open to all the new experiences in fellowship. 

My name is Brandon Brummeyer “Broom Meyer.” I was born and raised in Wisconsin between Milwaukee and Green Bay! I completed my undergraduate in Wisconsin, and I used to work at Culver’s, and I worked as a nursing assistant at a nursing home, the night shift. I went to medical school in Madison, WI and completed residency in Cleveland, OH in med-peds. I like to try most things once, my hobbies including hiking, camping, fishing, collecting board games, and trying archery. I enjoy the beach too! I am scuba diver certified and dove in the Belize Barrier reef, I love traveling to Belize and have worked at one of the clinics multiple times! I am interested in global health and want to study the global and local burden or MDROs and coming up with global, public and One health solutions for the ongoing problem! I am excited to be in Colorado and escape into nature and willing to try skiing!

My name is Tommy King, and I am a native of the Chicago area. Prior to starting medical school at Rush University in Chicago, I worked for a federally qualified health center, Erie Family Health. Part of my job was supporting the program that provided care to patients living with HIV, mainly on the West side of Chicago. That was where my interest in Infectious Diseases began! I stayed in Chicago for Internal Medicine Residency at Rush, where I had incredible mentors who helped to further my passion for the field of ID. My main areas of interest are HIV medicine as well general and Orthopedic ID. I’m very excited to be in Denver and take advantage of opportunities to hike, ski, and be outdoors in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. One of my bucket list items is to visit all 63 US national parks!

I'm Rebecca and am wrapping up residency here at the University of Colorado. I've absolutely loved my time here in Denver so far and am really looking forward to staying for fellowship! Professionally, I am interested in transplant infectious disease, and I love medical education as well. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and particularly love experiencing new restaurants or trying new recipes at home. I live with my husband, Drew, and we recently moved to the Central Park area, and I am lucky to have my sister in Denver too (she is actually a nurse in the stepdown unit at UCH!). I like to stay active and enjoy skiing in the winter and going for walks in the spring/summer (with the occasional Orangetheory class mixed in). I am so excited to be a fellow here next year and can't wait to meet everyone!

I’m Jenn, the senior citizen of this years’ fellows! I grew up in California, went to medical school in Philadelphia, and came out here to Colorado for my residency. Upon graduation, I decided to travel and work as a hospitalist in various locales, both domestic and international, before moving back permanently to Colorado. My interest in infectious disease was sparked early in medical school by a newly diagnosed AIDS patient with disseminated Strongyloides (we pulled WORMS out of his ETT!) and even with the relative abundance of ID cases as a hospitalist, it was just never enough to satisfy me.  I finally decided to apply for ID fellowship this past year and am thrilled to pursue this endlessly evolving field in my adopted home state. I have a longstanding fascination with influenza, but in recent years I’ve also become intrigued by wound care and orthopedic ID.  

Most of my time outside of work revolves around my wonderful family (husband, two kids, and dog) but in the time that I do manage to get for myself, you can usually find me either rock climbing, baking, or reading at my local coffee shop. 

After earning a bachelor's degree in physics at St. Olaf College, I went to Duke Medical School and then to internal medicine residency at CU Anschutz. I finished residency in 2017, and from 2017 to 2025 I worked as a hospitalist at Denver Health. During that time, I also completed two missions with Doctors Without Borders. I am passionate about providing excellent medical care to underserved populations. My academic interests include tuberculosis and antimicrobial stewardship.

Hi, I'm Laura! I was born in Bogotá, Colombia (aka the rainforest), where I inherited my love for nature and Infectious Diseases. During my time in med school, I provided care to patients with tuberculosis, HIV and different tropical diseases and that’s where my interest in ID began. I then moved to Connecticut for my Internal Medicine residency, where I had incredible mentors. While I truly enjoyed my time in Connecticut, I’m extremely excited to explore Colorado and all the nearby national parks. In my free time, I love hiking with my dog Ralphy and friends, going to concerts, trying new foods, and visiting pet-friendly breweries.

Hey my name is Sum and I’m from Vancouver. I’m completed my medical school in the Dutch Caribbean and finishing up residency in Cincinnati.  Denver seems like an ideal location for me as I’m a fan of the great outdoors and enjoy hiking and snowboarding! Outside of work, I enjoy the occasional Latin social dancing, playing some chess and working out. Can definitely get lost in hours long conversations about social anthropology and the history of our ever-changing world.  Beyond excited to delve deep into the world of Infectious Diseases!

I grew up in Colorado and completed all of my training at CU. I’m thrilled to be staying on for ID fellowship after a Chief Resident year. I have broad interests in general ID, research, and medical education and am looking forward to seeing where fellowship takes me. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, birding, and spending time with my family.

I am Shanmukha, born in Karimnagar, India, where I also completed medical school, before moving to New York for my internal medicine residency. A visit to my brother in Colorado during residency quickly turned into a love for the state, between the mountains, the trails, and the overall vibe, it didn’t take much convincing. I’ve been interested in infectious diseases for as long as I can remember. Before my residency, I worked as a medical officer in underserved communities, which solidified my passion for caring for vulnerable populations and pursuing a career in global health. Long term, I hope to work with organizations like Doctors Without Borders. When I’m not in the hospital, you’ll usually find me taking care of my ever-growing plant collection, crocheting, painting, cooking something new, or out hiking. I love exploring the outdoors and am on a mission to visit as many U.S. national parks as possible (11 down so far, with many more to go).

I’m Caroline, from Cleveland, Ohio. I fell in love with the world of ID as an HIV/STI test counselor in college. I am strongly interested in IP and am most proud of a talk I gave on CLABSI in my hospital system. Outside of work, I spend time caring for my 8-foot tall fiddle leaf fig tree and I am actively seeking ways to transport plants across state lines legally for my move to Colorado. My favorite people are my two nieces and my nephew who all live in Texas. A goal of mine is to develop my skills in the kitchen, so please send recipes my way!
