Where are you from?
Originally from Oregon but spent the last couple of years in Tucson.
Why did you choose NW Transitional Year Residency?
Having spent the last few years in Tucson, I knew I wanted to stay local and continue serving this community. Beyond the location, several of my mentors spoke very highly of the program’s culture and clinical training. Their recommendation, combined with NW’s reputation for providing a strong, hands-on foundation, made it very desirable for my Transitional Year.
What are your professional interests within Medicine?
Pursuing Anesthesia Residency with hopes to further specialize into cardiac or critical care.
What are your interests or hobbies outside of Medicine?
I’m an avid outdoorsman and enjoy everything from overlanding and camping to riding dirt bikes and fishing. When I’m not exploring the desert, you can find me at the gym, running, golfing, or heading north for some snowboarding.
What are you most excited about for life in Tucson?
I’m most excited that I get to continue enjoying everything the desert has to offer; the beautiful weather, the wonderful culture, great food and great people. I firmly believe Tucson offers a unique blend of “big city” amenities with a welcoming, “small town” feel.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
I like to start with a late morning and numerous cups of coffee, followed by a workout at the gym or a run in the Tucson sun. I usually end the day by prepping and getting organized for the week ahead.
Top item on your “Bucket list”?
I would like to explore some deep sea fishing in the near future.
