Taking care of my two bunnies, playing flute, horseback riding, thrifting, and going to the gym.
What are your favorite things to do/ things you look forward to doing in the Denver area?
I can't wait to do more hiking, explore more cuisines from around the world, visit the botanical gardens, hopefully learn how to ski or snowboard, and reunite with my partner!
What you did before radiology or a mini-bio about yourself
Before medical school, I completed a degree in political science and worked on health policy research before ultimately deciding to pursue medicine and radiology. I hope to continue my work in organized medicine and stay involved in health policy and advocacy throughout residency training and beyond!
