Hobbies, fun facts and interests
In classic EM fashion, I'm usually trying to get outside- I love getting lost on trail runs and bikepacking trips with pals. I also enjoy cooking up new soups with my wonderful partner, sleeping in late with our hound dog, bike lanes, dive bars, and (slowly) learning some bluegrass on the guitar and banjo. On the career side, I'm still figuring out my role in helping improve our broken healthcare system, but I'm interested in both health policy and public health programming.

Why Fresno?
Apart from the stellar farmers' markets and backcountry access, Fresno gave me a good gut feeling that I hoped to find on the application trail. I rotated here through a last-minute opening, and really enjoyed it. Patient acuity and volume is unparallelled, attendings and upper-levels prioritize teaching (as do nurses, RT, pharmacy, and many others), and I have a lot to learn from the diverse, complex, and underserved patient population of the Central Valley. All the academic backing of UCSF, with a high degree of autonomy for residency training. Why not Fresno?
