Why did you choose NW Transitional Year Residency?
I chose the NW Transitional Year Residency for the opportunity to spend another year living in and exploring Tucson, as well as for the many opportunities it offers residents to learn, grow, and develop both personally and professionally.
What are your professional interests within Medicine?
I have a broad passion for the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation and all its procedures! I’m especially drawn to sports medicine, interventional spine, musculoskeletal medicine, and pain medicine. I am also passionate about patient advocacy, promoting patient autonomy and independence, and providing trauma-informed care.
What are your interests or hobbies outside of Medicine?
I enjoy reading, exploring new coffee shops, hiking, skiing, catching up on sleep, and just about anything sports-related. I also love spending time with my forever puppy, Maya, and my fiancé, Steven.
What are you most excited about for life in Tucson?
To continue to strengthen the community I’ve made here, TucsonRunClub, and all the fun events the city has to offer.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
My fiancé making me one of his delicious lattes and getting lost in my current read while cuddling with my dog, Maya.
