Hobbies/Outside Interests: I love bouldering, hiking, cooking, reading (or audiobooks), and hanging out with my dog.

Things you look forward to doing in Charlottesville: I look forward to outdoor activities! (Charlottesville has a much different topography than Indiana). I’ll enjoy learning about and exploring a new city (coffee shops, bars, concerts, wineries, etc).

Why did you choose UVA? I wanted to explore somewhere outside of the midwest. My partner (Jack who matched Internal Med) and I both liked our respective programs. Also I have friends living in Harrisonburg who I can reconnect with.

Anesthesiology Interests: I am interested in maybe peds anesthesia, but I’m not sure!

Favorite Rotation: Developmental Peds
