IMG_20170626_073244_259Hometown: Fairview, TX

Professional interests: I have enjoyed my time in pediatric ENT and currently I have an interest in sleep

Hobbies: Soccer, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, and spending time with my dog and husband

What are your favorite things to do in the Denver area? Hiking and skiing 

What I did before otolaryngology: I went straight through for school. I spent time as an EMS provider in college, which turned my interests to the medical field.​

What is the biggest strength of our program? The people! I was drawn to the faculty when I interviewed here. I respected the depth in the subspecialties and I appreciate that the faculty is invested in teaching. ​
