Hobbies, facts and interests
In my free time I enjoy watching a good movie or sports and spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures and cuisines.
Why Fresno?
UCSF Fresno offers a training experience of both an academic and community setting. The San Joaquin Valley is a largely underserved area, which offers a great range of pathology in a diverse patient population. As someone who trained at a medical school who’s primary focus was practicing in underserved communities, I knew I wanted to continue training at a program who believes in improving health outcomes in populations with unmet health/healthcare needs.
