WHO ARE YOUR PEOPLE?
My chosen family are super inspiring people: schoolteachers from preschool up, parents, social workers,
environmental scientists
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
The times I’ve been able to grow into a better person because I chose growth over just staying mad.
WHY UW/SCH?
My community is here! And the Alaska track balances out the academic medicine with creativity and
community of rural med.
ON MY DAYS OFF, I LIKE TO…
Get away from cell reception! Spend time with my friend and their kids and their pets, play board games, water
color, put up the hammock.
ASK ME ABOUT…
Staying in Seattle for med school and residency, Alaska track, being trans/genderqueer in seattle and at SCH,
vegetarian food at the cafeteria, swimming and hiking spots and hit me up if you need someone to take you
backpacking for the 1st or 40th time!
