| Why Colorado?: I love the opportunities provided by training at Denver Health, our incredible community hospital, and Children's Hospital Colorado, where we have patients from across the country with various medical complexities. I am so grateful for the mentors and role models in this program and in our community who inspire me to grow each day and work toward health justice in our community. Also, the Colorado sunshine brings me so much joy! | Why Colorado?: | Why Colorado?: I chose Colorado for the sense of camaraderie among the residents and the warmth of community with the faculty and staff we work alongside. It's incredible as a trainee to have the balance of highly specialized care at CHCO and working at the community safety net hospital, Denver Health. Coming from AZ, I had also become dependent on sunshine so was relieved to not give that up living in CO, with the added bonus of the best skiing around! |
| Plans After Chief Year: I am still not entirely decided, but considering PICU or hospital medicine with a strong interest in health equity work, medical ethics, and mental health. I also plan to have medical education be a large component of my career, as I love working with learners (and continue to be very much a learner myself!). | Plans After Chief Year: | Plans After Chief Year: Hospitalist |
| Favorite Colorado Activity: Exploring every ice cream shop in Denver, spending afternoons in the sunshine at the Botanic Gardens, taking walks around the parks, camping in the mountains, and learning how to bake at altitude. | Favorite Colorado Activity: | Favorite Colorado Activity: |
