About
I run a research lab developing AI-based solutions for pediatric healthcare. I'm also an avid hiker and enjoy anything outside, including rock climbing, biking, and kayaking. I'm a nerd at heart and enjoy the essentials like LOTR, Super Smash Bros, and D&D. Pickleball is not the same as racquetball and I forget that every time I play it (which is a lot).
Why I Love UICOMP/Peoria
I have the autonomy to pursue my clinical and research interests in a supportive environment that is looking to continuously grow and improve itself. My PHM colleagues are great, and the work environment is warm. I like having four seasons, and the salary-to-cost-of-living ratio is great.
