Hobbies, Facts, & Interests: 

I enjoy spending time with my fiancé. We love finding new places to eat or doing projects at our house. You can also catch me doing absolutely anything outdoors including snowboarding, mountain biking, fishing, backpacking, etc. I also love music; I'm always looking for new artists or my next concert. 

Why Fresno? 

To start, UCSF Fresno was one of the broadest scope programs that I had the pleasure to see on the interview trail. I wanted a program that I felt would prepare me for anything that I might see throughout my career. The busy program also boasts one of the most welcoming cultures that I have seen as well. This combination in addition to the added benefit of being close to friends and family in OC and SF, great accessibility to lakes and national parks, plus affordable cost of living, made it the choice clear.
