Biography

Hometown: Chicago

Medical School: Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine

Undergraduate: Denison University

Career Plans: Gastroenterology

Favorite Aspect of Residency at MCW: Everyone will say the people, and I agree. However, the autonomy you get through our program is unmatched. I truly feel I was given opportunities to develop as a physician through our curriculum. I felt I was able to excel clinically and professionally due to the constant support and encouragement from my attendings, peers, nurses, and ancillary staff.

Favorite Aspect of Milwaukee: It offers every "pro" a big city has: major sports teams, a bustling music and theatre scene, and a rapidly growing food scene. Yet, it has a special quaint character that never gets old.

One Thing You Must Try While Living in Wisconsin: Pancake battered cheese curds with syrup from Black Sheep in Walkers Point.

Interesting Fact About Me: I played volleyball in college! Additionally, I have two unpopular opinions: I don’t like chocolate or avocados. More for you!
