What are your interests in medicine?
So many! Critical and acute care, general medicine (every organ system is so cool), mental and behavioral healthcare, LGBTQ+ healthcare, medical education, point of care ultrasound.
What drew you to the Alaska Track?
This is a special chance to live, learn, and work in a remote place. I feel lucky that I can train in a highly specialized center like Seattle Children’s and simultaneously get training in a rural environment where resources and specialists are more limited. I wanted a program that would push me to think independently. At the same time, I felt that this was a program that supports its residents personally and professionally.
What would be your perfect day off?
Hurtling down a snowy mountain with two sticks on my feet.
What was your childhood dream job?
I wanted to be Elle Woods from Legally Blonde.
