I am originally from the Chicago, Illinois area. I stayed in Chicago for undergrad and attended the University of Illinois at Chicago. While studying neuroscience and sociology, I also met my fiancé. During the pandemic, I moved to Kansas City, Missouri for medical school at Kansas City University, where I adopted my pup named Aspen and became a Chiefs fan.
At the start of my clinical rotations in medical school, I decided on family medicine as my specialty of choice, mainly for its emphasis on longitudinal relationships with patients and their families, preventive health measures, and wide variation in patient populations. My professional passions include improving health literacy and healthcare outcomes in underserved communities.
Although I will always be a Midwest girl at heart, I am very excited to be moving to Baltimore, Maryland with my partner and starting residency with the MedStar Franklin Square team. I look forward to building relationships with the Baltimore community!
Outside of medicine, you can find me watching reality TV, weight training, reading historical fiction, and dabbling in photography.
