About
I’m originally from Southern California, and I attended medical school at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria. During my training, I developed strong interests in women’s health, LGBTQIA+ health, and wilderness medicine. I’m especially passionate about providing inclusive, patient-centered care and working with underserved populations.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors. I like working out, walking my dogs, and hiking whenever I can. I also enjoy watching movies, trying good food, and most importantly, spending quality time with my wife.
Why I Chose Peoria
I chose this program in Peoria, Illinois because of its strong teaching culture, excellent learning opportunities, and supportive environment for residents. I also value the chance to continue serving and advocating for the patient population I got to know during medical school, which made this program feel like a natural fit for my training and long-term goals.
