Where are you from?     

I was born and raised in Tucson!

Why did you choose UA Family Medicine?    

My partner and I knew from the very beginning that we wanted to stay in Tucson for our training and beyond. Additionally, I wanted a program that would prepare me for full spectrum family medicine, with an emphasis in underserved communities. While on my audition rotation here, I was so impressed by the residents and how genuinely kind they all were to me, each other, and to the patients.

What are you most excited about for life in Tucson?    

The beautiful sunsets, monsoon season, and the food!

What are your interests or hobbies outside of Medicine?    

My current obsession is bouldering and top rope climbing!
